This exceptional B-Listed Victorian commercial property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial retail unit in the heart of Inverness city centre. Built between 1901 and 1902 by distinguished architect W.L. Carruthers, this distinguished building occupies a prominent corner position on Union Street with secondary frontage on Drummond Street, offering outstanding visibility and pedestrian footfall in Scotland's Highland capital. The property comprises a ground floor retail unit with basement accommodation, providing approximately 209 square metres (2,250 square feet) of usable commercial space. The building showcases impressive period architecture with five grand Victorian windows, three facing Union Street and two overlooking Drummond Street, flooding the interior with natural light. The exterior features premium Aberdeen granite and Moray freestone ashlar construction, testament to the quality craftsmanship of the Edwardian era. The main ground floor space features an incredible coffered ceiling in the former banking hall, creating a distinguished and characterful environment. The property includes a large basement level offering storage facilities, staff amenities, WC facilities, and a separate emergency exit, providing excellent support infrastructure for commercial operations. The property is currently vacant, having been previously occupied by a high street banking institution. Vacant possession is available immediately, offering purchasers complete flexibility for redevelopment, refurbishment, or occupation. The premises would be ideally suited for a variety of commercial uses including retail operations, professional offices, art gallery, boutique retail, or hospitality ventures subject to obtaining necessary planning consents.
