Description
The property comprises a former Army Cadet Drill Hall and ancillary accomodation, arranged across ground and first floors.
Accessed from both the High Street, and via a lane to the rear, the property comprises a former townhouse that has been converted and extended for its previous use. At the front, the property provides former meeting rooms and offices across ground and first floors totaling 1,404 sq ft (130.39 sq m). The first floor is currently inaccessible due to the removal of the staircase, this is due to the deterioration of the property. This front element is therefore effectively in shell condition with stone elevations and original sash windows.
The rear of the property comprises a ground floor extension totaling 4,966 sq ft (461.38 sq m). This includes a kitchen, former drill hall, an armoury and a full 25m indoor firing range.
The property is generally in poor condition and in need of repair. However it lends itself towards conversion to a variety of uses (subject to obtaining the necessary consents).
Location
The property is located in Laurencekirk, a town situated on the A90 arterial route between Dundee and Aberdeen. The town has the nickname "the long town" since the majority of the town is arranged in a line down the High Street.
The property is situated on the High Street towards the south of the town, with the principal surrounding use being residential with some local amenities including shops and pubs.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
