Description

This ground floor commercial property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in the bustling heart of Buckie’s town centre. Once an ice cream parlour, the space offers significant versatility, making it suitable for a variety of business ventures or as a redevelopment project. Positioned on Buckie’s main retail thoroughfare, the property benefits from high visibility and substantial foot traffic, surrounded by a diverse mix of shops, dining establishments, and residential buildings. This prime location not only supports existing businesses but also attracts potential new customers, enhancing the overall economic vitality of the area. Buckie is approximately 17 miles east of Elgin and serves as a vibrant commuter town with convenient transport links. The A98 runs through the town, connecting residents to bus routes that reach various parts of Moray and Banffshire. Moreover, proximity to larger cities like Inverness and Aberdeen—each within about 55 to 63 miles—provides access to more extensive amenities and airport services. The premises feature large aluminium-framed display windows at the front and a recessed entrance point, which can be leveraged for marketing purposes. Inside, a spacious customer sales area greets visitors with vinyl flooring and practical finishes like painted plasterboard walls and suspended ceilings equipped with recessed lighting. The rear extension includes essential facilities such as a kitchen with durable stainless steel worktops, staff restroom amenities, and additional storage space accessible via stairs. With a total internal area of just over 1,000 square feet, this property harbors great potential for those looking to make their mark in this thriving community or invest in its ongoing development. Additionally, the inclusion of an outdoor space—with garden areas and outbuildings—allows for further customization or expansion possibilities. Given Buckie's reputation as a popular trading hub combined with this property's strategic location, it represents an appealing prospect for investors seeking both immediate business opportunities and long-term growth potential in an evolving market.
