The Old Telephone Exchange, Menstrie, Clackmannanshire
Guide price £145,000+
The Old Telephone Exchange is situated in a scenic village setting at the foothill base of the Ochil Hills near Stirling and could be the perfect purchase for house hunters that are looking for an eccentric home. The quaint two-bedroom detached property is built on the footprint of an old telephone exchange building and is complete with solar panels to enhance the home’s eco-friendliness.
Former amusement arcade, Portpatrick, Dumfries and Galloway
Guide price £95,000+
This former amusement arcade in the tourist hot spot of Portpatrick enjoys prime location adjacent to the local beach, with stunning views over the harbour, and could be well suited for a variety of uses, whether for a business or for redevelopment into residential property.
The property has had historic council approvals for demolition of the existing building, and for the development into two commercial units and two residential dwellings, which might appeal to a local builder or developer looking for their next project.
Marine Parade, Dunoon, Argyll and Bute
Guide price £138,000+
This two-bedroom main door flat is in a converted C-listed hotel originally built in 1837 and boasts views of the Firth of Clyde and allocated off-street parking. As the main resort on the picturesque Cowal Peninsula and the maritime gateway to the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park, the seaside town of Dunoon is a high tourist area so this property could make for a great holiday let or holiday home following some upgrades and TLC.
Hillside, Rapness, Westray, Orkney
Guide price £45,000+
Located in the settlement of Rapness at the southern tip of the island of Westray in the northern Orkney Isles and boasting a stunning panoramic outlook over the farmland, out to sea and beyond to the neighbouring islands, this plot of land is certainly a ruin with a view!
The one-acre plot contains a derelict cottage alongside a former farmhouse, byre and stables and is being sold with approved planning and building warrant in place for the development of a holiday let, however it could also be the site of a beautiful family home.
