Offered at auction, this substantial sandstone property in Hawick is the former Buccleuch Hotel, with accommodation arranged over several levels and around 639 sqm of stated floor area. The listing describes a ground floor with an entrance hall, two large fitness rooms, a kitchen/lounge area, a shower room and gents' and accessible toilets. Lower-ground rooms and storerooms provide further space, while the first floor includes a function room, ladies' toilets and two bedrooms. The upper floor has a lounge, kitchen and three further bedrooms, including one en-suite, which the seller suggests could serve as owners' accommodation.
The building has previously had planning permission for residential conversion, and works have been started. It is described as requiring renovation, with potential for a range of uses. Buyers should make their own enquiries with Scottish Borders Council about the planning history and any permissions or consents needed for a proposed scheme.

Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
77out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £165,000, this substantial sandstone property is exceptionally cheap against the local £/sqf benchmark, making the acquisition price a major opportunity. Its large rooms, traditional cornices and panelling, and multi-level former-hotel layout offer plenty of scope to shape a distinctive residential conversion; the listing says work has started under previous planning permission, so check the current consent and feasibility. The sale is by auction: bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
This is a heavy project rather than a cosmetic refresh. The photographed interiors show dated finishes, worn or unfinished floors, an older kitchen area and a basic shower room, while the sandstone frontage and slate roof appear sound from the street view. The strong numbers are promising, but the scale of the conversion and the condition of the interior need careful assessment.
Key opportunities
- Use the generous, multi-level former-hotel layout and large rooms to create a distinctive residential scheme, subject to confirming planning and conversion feasibility.
- Bring out the sandstone frontage, period cornices and panelling with a considered renovation.
- Rework the older kitchen area and renew worn or unfinished floors to give the interiors a coherent finish.
Key risks
- The worn and unfinished interiors, multiple levels and former-hotel layout make this a substantial full-interior rebuild; allow for a longer, carefully planned programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
