Located in the centre of Blackwaterfoot on the Isle of Arran, this freehold retail unit occupies a large plot (circa one‑third acre) with direct sea and harbour views. The single‑storey, mid‑20th century concrete building currently trades as a butcher and includes main retail space, preparation kitchens, cold storage, a freezer room, office, two toilets and staff accommodation, plus an adjacent outbuilding for chillers and additional storage.
The site offers clear development potential: the grounds are relatively flat with hard‑stand parking for several vehicles and a southerly aspect. A residential building plot is described as possible subject to local planning consents, making the property attractive to investors or owner‑operators seeking a mixed commercial/residential opportunity. Services include mains water and electricity (phase 3); drainage is to a septic tank within the grounds. Rateable value is £5,500, currently benefiting from 100% small business relief.
Notable drawbacks are factual and should inform any purchase decision: the building has a flat roof and mid‑century concrete construction that will require modernization and ongoing maintenance; broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average — factors that limit certain modern business uses. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with remoter, older farming communities; any redevelopment will require planning approval and possibly septic/drainage upgrades. Viewings by appointment only.
