A substantial industrial compound on Port Long Road offers immediate commercial utility and clear redevelopment potential. The main workshop (circa 150 m²) plus two additional workshops/stores and generous office accommodation give flexible space for continued trade or phased conversion. A secure yard and direct vehicle access suit operations requiring loading, storage or plant parking.
Outline planning for residential conversion to apartments has been sought/granted, which adds a defined alternative use and investment route. The buildings are a practical blank canvas: high ceilings, large bays and robust joinery-era construction are ideal for conversion but will need internal refurbishment and fit-out to meet modern residential standards.
Notable constraints are material: the site sits in a very deprived area and tenure is not confirmed, which may affect funding and sales strategy. Broadband is average; mobile signal is excellent. The property’s coastal location and nearby A98 access support both residential appeal and commercial logistics.
For an investor or developer, this property offers a dual-option opportunity: continue income-generating light industrial use while progressing planning, or undertake conversion to multiple apartments. Allow for refurbishment costs, potential structural adaptions for housing, and the administrative steps needed to confirm tenure and full planning approval.
