This substantial high‑street freehold on Bridge Street presents a clear opportunity for an investor seeking a prominent town‑centre asset. The building offers an impressive 2,562 sq ft over ground, basement and first‑floor store, with a stone Victorian corner façade, large glazed frontage and good ceiling heights to the retail level. The basement provides generous ancillary storage and office space, useful for retailer fit‑out or conversion.
The property is offered with a guide price of offers in excess of £155,000 for the freehold. A new full repairing and insuring head lease is available at £17,000 per annum (figures exclusive of VAT). Internally the ground floor is presented in good condition with suspended ceilings, partitioned rooms, carpeting, a tea‑prep area and WC facilities, reducing immediate capex for a new occupier.
Location strengths include a prominent corner position at the junction of Bridge, Bruce and High Streets in Dunfermline town centre, good transport links and a strong regional catchment supported by long‑term housing expansion plans for the town. The immediate retail offer and amenities are wide-ranging, which supports multiple occupier types.
Key considerations: the surrounding area records high local deprivation indices despite pockets of professional residents and an expanding affluent catchment, so operator selection and rental strategy will be important. Figures quoted exclude VAT and the purchaser/tenant must comply with anti‑money‑laundering ID checks. Interested parties should also verify lease terms, service liabilities and any temporary external works such as scaffolding before purchase.
