Union Street, Greenock

OVERVIEW

**360° Tour Available - click above** 

This traditional building is available to buy in the desirable west end of Greenock. Presenting a rare opportunity located within Greenock's professional district, the subjects are set across the basement, ground, first and attic floors, with a dedicated entrance, shared gardens and on-street parking.

The property comprises an office building of traditional construction, with the ground floor entrance from Union Street, which leads into the basement area with ten well-proportioned rooms.

On the ground floor, the current tenant has spent extensively to create a modern office environment, including fresh plaster, floor tile and decoration. There is access to the basement internally from the office.

The first-floor entrance is from a turret stairwell accessible from street level, with signage opportunities onto the busy Union Street.

A former residential dwelling, the property has retained several period features and cornicing.

There is the potential also to convert the top floor property into a 4 bedroom flat or multiple flats across the first, attic and basement floors (subject to planning).

Both properties provide several well-proportioned rooms, reception area, kitchen, meeting rooms and private offices. Security and fire alarms are in-situ for both properties.

This is a fantastic and rare investment opportunity to add to an existing portfolio, or for a business to relocate and generate income from the ground floor. 

LEASES

The ground floor is let on a long-term lease until July 2028 to a leading Charity, at £12k p.a. generating the potential of c.£85,000 income for purchasers. There is a tenant only break clause in 2024 and 2027.

The first floor is now vacant, with the previous long-term tenant lease now lapsed.
