well suited to alternative commercial use, subject to Local Authority
consents.
In addition, there is scope for the property to be converted or redeveloped
for residential use, subject to Local Authority consents.
Grant funding for residential conversion may be awarded by Dumfries &
Galloway Council. Further information is available at:
