Description

Offered at auction, this Category C listed Georgian property in Dumfries is a former NHS treatment facility that has been stripped out and partially framed for conversion. The proposed three-level layout includes five bedrooms, two lounges, a study, kitchen and two bathrooms. The listing states that change of use back to residential has been approved, while any alterations will require Listed Building Consent. Previous planning permission is also noted, but the scope and status of approvals should be checked with the relevant authorities. The property has a rear garden and is described as being within walking distance of Dumfries town centre, close to Dockhead Park and the River Nith. The listing identifies possible residential, short-term rental or bed-and-breakfast uses. It is being sold through a timed online auction, with the auction details and legal documentation to be reviewed before bidding.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial Georgian, Category C listed townhouse with a rear garden and an ambitious five-bedroom proposed layout. The interiors are stripped back to exposed masonry and framing, so the opportunity is to complete the fit-out and shape a large multi-storey home; the established garden also offers scope for straightforward improvement. The listing says residential change of use has been approved, but any alterations will need to account for listed-building requirements. Limited photo coverage makes the renovation assessment further provisional. The auction guide is £85,000, but floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Complete the stripped, framed interiors around the proposed five-bedroom, two-lounge layout, subject to confirming the approved scope and listed-building requirements.
  • Make use of the substantial three-level Georgian building and its established rear garden to create a distinctive residential property.
  • Refresh the garden’s untended lawn and path areas to improve its presentation.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors with exposed structure and unfinished floors mean a heavy, multi-level full-fit-out programme; plan for a substantial rebuild rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Visible weathering and uneven staining affect the exterior render, while roof coverings and concealed exterior fabric cannot be assessed from the available views.
  • Listed-building requirements may constrain or add complexity to proposed alterations.
