The Elms, Cairnie Road, Arbroath GB
Fantastic opportunity for a builder / developer to purchase The Elms, Arbroath which is an A Listed two storey French Gothic Style building and is listed at an incredible price of £1+.
The Elms was built for the mill-owning Corsar family. It operated as a hotel until World War II when it was requisitioned by the War Office, before becoming a childrens home of the World-Wide Evangelisation Crusade (Historic Scotland). The architect William Leiper is best known for Templeton's Carpet Factory (also known as the Doge's Palace) in Glasgow.
The property is in poor condition throughout and is on the buildings at risk register. The property previously had planning permission to convert to six flats and five dwelling houses which has since lapsed. Ref. No: 03/00592/LBC.
This would make a fantastic builder developer opportunity so early expression of interest is advised.

There are schools at primary and secondary levels and major supermarkets all within a reasonably short walking distance of the site.
