Shepherd Chartered Surveyors is bringing to market a former archaeological visitor centre at Oyne, Insch, Aberdeenshire, for sale or lease as a unique development opportunity.
The site is located on the B9002, a mile west of its junction with the A96 to the west of the village of Oyne in Aberdeenshire, a settlement three miles south-east of Insch set against the backdrop of the Bennachiehill range.
Oldmeldrum and Inverurie lie to the east eight miles and 10 miles respectively with the site benefitting from excellent access to local and national infrastructure, providing a unique position in Aberdeenshire’s countryside.
The structure has been designed to meld into its rural setting so that the landscape rolls across it. The grass-covered roof rises like a conical hill similar to its surroundings. Pedestrian access to the site is via a pathway that enters a sheltered valley shape up the main entrance.
The building provides a predominately open plan area which allows for circulation to all parts of the building.
Shona Boyd, at Shepherd, said: “This unique space lends itself to a variety of commercial uses which can breathe new life into the building.
“The former Arachaeolink structure provides a distinctive opportunity for an incoming occupier, and we would welcome enquiries of a range of natures, for the whole of the building or in part, as there is scope to sub-divide the building to form separate units.
“Potential uses include industrial and storage purposes, restaurant, coffee shop, events facility, soft play centre, gym, distillery, brewery, car storage and sales, wedding venue, church, alternative healthcare, music and dance studio, entertainment venue, all subject to gaining the appropriate planning consent.”
Offers over £150,000 are sought for the whole building while consideration will be given to enquiries of a letting nature. Interested parties should contact the sole selling and letting agent on tel 01224 202800.
