Summary - 12, THE SQUARE DG8 9SE
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Large seaside unit with conversion potential close to village amenities.
Approximately 1,776 sq ft (c.165 m²) former workshop/storage
A large, freehold commercial unit on Port William’s coastal edge, offered at £90,000. The property comprises approximately 1,776 sq ft (c.165 m²) of former workshop/storage with vehicular access, high ceilings and generous internal volume. It is currently vacant and was last used for storage, presenting clear scope for commercial reuse or residential conversion.
The site benefits from direct sea views, excellent mobile (4G) coverage and mains water and electricity. Planning permission (ref 07/P/1/0008) was previously granted to alter and extend the building to form a four-bedroom house, giving a straightforward route for buyers seeking a renovation or conversion project. Average broadband speeds and local amenities support both business and residential options.
Material considerations: the building is derelict in parts and will require significant repair and refurbishment to meet modern standards; coastal exposure may mean ongoing maintenance and potential weather-related wear. The wider area is classified as remoter and very deprived, with an ageing local population — factors that affect long-term rental demand and resale timing.
This property suits buyers looking for a substantial renovation or redevelopment opportunity: investors targeting specialist holiday or coastal lets, craftspeople needing workshop/showroom space, or a developer prepared to complete the residential conversion. Practical due diligence and a clear plan for repair, insulation and services upgrades are recommended before purchase.
