Description

Commercial development opportunity.

New to auction is this superb development project in the history rich Burgh of Sanquhar in Dumfries and Galloway that holds a unique history. The property is over four floors and has been granted full planning permission to be developed into a restaurant, bar, and five, one bedroom service apartments across the first and second floors. The full details of the planning application can be found on the Dumfries & Galloway Council website under reference (22/0073/FUL).

History
Formerly named the Queensberry Arms Inn, the property was frequently visited by the famous poet Robert Burns and holds significant historic interest due to the fact that Burns famously wrote the poem entitled “At Whigham's Inn” in 1789 on one of his regular visits to the property. The poem refers to the landlord of the former pub, Edward Whigham (1750-1823) who enjoyed a friendship with Burns for the duration of the Bard’s time in Dumfries. A commemorative plaque displaying the poem currently sits on the front of the property. This is a fantastic opportunity to be involved in a truly unique development project with the chance to own a piece of history. With a keenly positioned Guide Price, early viewing is advised.
