Location
The property occupies an accessible town centre position within an established mixed-use district benefitting from ongoing regeneration projects.
Dumfries, with a population of around 33,000, is the largest town in Dumfries & Galloway as is therefore southwest Scotland's main shopping and administrative centre.
The town lies approximately 75 miles south of Glasgow and 34 miles northwest of Carlisle, occupying a strategic location at the intersection of the A75, A76, and A701 trunk roads.
Connections to the A74(M) motorway are available at Lockerbie via the A709, Gretna via the A75, and Beattock via the A701.
The A75 also provides a link to the Northern Irish ferry ports at Cairnryan.
The property lies on the western side of Irish Street, which runs parallel to the pedestrianised High Street, between its junctions with Bank Street and Friars Vennel.
The site is elevated at the rear and therefore enjoys an outlook toward Whitesands and the River Nith.
Surrounding commercial properties include municipal offices, supermarkets, retail units, leisure premises, and licensed bars / restaurants.
Free parking and public transport links are available within a short walking distance.
