A terraced traditional Public House dating back to 1722, this Free House sadly ceased trading in the summer of 2022. Planning permission has now been granted for Change of Use (Scottish Borders Planning Ref: 24/00861/FUL) for a change of use to create a substantial four-bedroom house. The property has been stripped out and now offers a blank canvas for those looking to reinstate the public house or proceed with the approved residential conversion - subject to obtaining Building Standards Scotland approval. Viewing is highly recommended. LOCATIONThe property is situated on the fringe of Duns Town Centre in a secondary trading position.
