Description

The property was historically utilised as a licenced public house, The Clipper, and is currently closed. The building was constructed in 1888 and is the site of the former MacMillan shipyard offices.

The building is detached, predominantly of traditional stone construction and 3 storeys in height. There is a modern single story conservatory extension provided to the side elevation, with a further single storey extension to the rear of the property being of brick construction, housing the kitchen and storage accommodation at ground floor level.

The previous licensed business operated out of the ground floor only, and the former office accommodation at upper floor levels has been unused for many years.

The property is in a shell condition having been stripped internally in preparation for upgrading and redevelopment, which then didn't occur due to the Covid 19 pandemic.

The former ground floor bar area has a double floor height and exposed feature steel columns. There is a raised mezzanine seating area to one side of the former bar area.

Access to the second and third floor levels is currently taken via a ladder arrangement from the mezzanine within the former bar area. This accommodation has not been utilised for many years and is in basic condition throughout but would suit office space or potentially serviced apartment accommodation (STPP) after refurbishment. New stair access would be required.

An external beer garden is available to the front and side of the conservatory style extension.
