Located within the tranquil Borders village of Lillesleaf, The Garage presents an excellent opportunity for a range of commercial operators seeking a generous level of accommodation and room for future development.

The main workshop comprises of an open-plan vehicle repair area, a vehicle lift, and an inspection pit. To the rear there is a small storage extension, a side store as well as WC facilities. The property also benefits from a kitchenette, as well as a front office space. To the front and side, there is a tarmac forecourt, together with a double garage block.

Development Potential

The property was previously subject to a planning application to demolish the existing garage workshop and erect two dwellinghouses, with the application ultimately having been withdrawn. The subjects are set within what is a predominantly residential focused setting and would be suited to a residential conversion, subject to all of the necessary local authority consents and approvals being obtained.
