Former community centre and land on the market

A former community centre and its adjacent land is up for sale.

The redevelopment opportunity is located at Banff’s Bridge Street.

Offers over £125,000 are being sought for the building – including the old tennis courts – which was replaced by the Deveron Community and Sports Centre in 2017.

Built in 1914, the property is a two-storey building with an entrance wing from Bridge Street and is in need of extensive refurbishment works.

While the property is not listed, it is situated within the Banff Conservation Area.

There is a private car park and forecourt at the front, and free car parking is available a short walk away, with the adjacent land lying immediately to the east.

An Aberdeenshire Council spokesperson said: “The property has planning consent for assembly and leisure use (Class 11) – parties interested in obtaining consent for an alternative use should make their own enquiries with our Planning Service via planning@aberdeenshire.gov.uk

“For further information on the property, please contact our Estates team by calling 01467 469261 or via estates@aberdeenshire.gov.uk”
