51-55 Princes Street, Port Glasgow, PA14

The Freehold of this high-potential former bank and flexible unit in Port Glasgow town centre is available to purchase. A rare opportunity, this large unit is suitable for a range of uses and is available to purchase through Bowman Rebecchi - The Home of Property.

The property was previously a TSB Bank branch and closed in 2020 following the bank’s withdrawal from Port Glasgow.

The subjects are set across two floors, with the ground floor still in the same configuration as the bank, with several small partitioned rooms as well as a large main floor space.

On the first floor is a larger open-plan space, with an additional kitchen and welfare facilities, all accessed via a staircase. The property could easily be split into two separate units units, subject to planning.

Entry is from Princes Street via electric roller shutters, with an additional side entrance which could be adapted for loading and/or distribution or act as an entrance for the first floor.

Sensibly priced, this unit is likely to appeal to a wide range of investors, with Princes Street in close proximity to Port Glasgow Retail Park and Port Glasgow Railway Station.

This is a fantastic space for a business to position itself, with a prominent and highly visible site within Port Glasgow Town Centre.

The town is reaping the benefits of having a large retail park constructed adjacent to the subjects by Ediston, with tenants including Tesco, M&S, Next, B&Q, B&M, Aldi, and McDonald’s.
