Development / Investor opportunity

A rare opportunity to acquire the former Cross Keys Hotel, a prominent landmark property occupying a central position within the historic market town of Duns. Offering extensive accommodation over three floors, the property presents an exciting development opportunity for investors, developers and builders seeking to complete an ambitious residential conversion project. The current owner has commenced works to convert the former hotel into residential accommodation, however the project remains unfinished and is now offered for sale in its current condition. The property provides purchasers with the opportunity to complete the conversion to suit their own specification, subject to any necessary consents and approvals. Extending to a substantial footprint, the building offers enormous flexibility for a variety of potential end uses, including a large family residence, holiday accommodation or other alternative uses, subject to the relevant planning permissions. Occupying a highly visible position overlooking The Square, the property benefits from immediate access to the town's local amenities including independent shops, cafés, restaurants, schools and leisure facilities.
