154-Year-Old Albert Hall Up for Grabs in Annan
16 Apr
Summary
- Historic Albert Hall, built in 1872, is up for auction.
- The property is located near a significant regeneration project.
- Redevelopment grants may be available for the listed building.
The Albert Hall, a 154-year-old auction mart building located on Port Street in Annan, Scotland, is scheduled for auction with a guide price of £150,000. This historic structure, constructed in 1872 by auctioneer James McLean, holds category B-listed status.
Its location on Port Street is notable as it is situated at the opposite end from Annan's multi-million-pound harbour regeneration project. This ambitious £15.6m redevelopment is expected to take approximately two years to complete, aiming to revitalize the area once known for shipbuilding, commerce, and fishing.
Having been vacant for many years, the Albert Hall has seen past planning permission granted for conversion into flats about two decades ago. Selling agent Shepherd has indicated that redevelopment grants could be accessible to a prospective buyer. However, significant investment will be necessary to restore the building to a usable condition.
