On the instructions of King’s and Lord Treasurer’s Remembrancer, Scotland’s first and oldest licensed whisky distillery site is set to go under the hammer as a roadside development opportunity at Shepherd Commercial Property Auctions on Thursday 18 June at 2.30pm with a guide price of £110,000.
Littlemill distillery was a lowland single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Bowling, West Dunbartonshire. Situated 11 miles west of Glasgow, Bowling benefits from strong transport links with Great Western Road nearby, linking the subjects to Glasgow city centre, the west coast and the M8. Bowling train station is located a short walk from the property, providing frequent services to Glasgow Queen Street and the west coast.
The surrounding area benefits from mainly residential properties, with nearby commercial occupiers including The Bay Inn, Custom House Hotel and the iconic 5-Star AJ Mar Hall Golf Course & Spa Resort.
Adam Honeyman, partner at Shepherd, said: “The 1.2-acre site comprises a rectangular plot of land with frontage onto Dumbarton Road consisting mainly of rough ground with sparse tree coverage.
“The north side of the site borders a public cycle/hiking path before coming to Great Western Road. Residential properties surround the site on the east and west sides.”
The derelict premises to the south-east corner of the site are currently category B listed. The site is zoned as an existing residential area in accordance with the West Dunbartonshire Local Development Plan.
The online auction will be held on Thursday 18th June at 2.30pm and interested parties should register at https://www.shepherd.co.uk/auctions-remote-bidding/.
