DESCRIPTION
We are pleased to offer for sale this substantial category “A” listed, H-shaped single storey granite building which is currently laid out to provide eight similar bedsit style flats. The unique property was founded by the philanthropist David Mitchell in 1801 and was originally used as a hospital, the facility was then restored in 1924 and again in 1965 to provide self-contained accommodation on a charitable basis. The distinctive building requires a comprehensive refurbishment to bring into a useable condition but provides a fantastic development opportunity providing the necessary permissions are sought. Outside there are extensive garden grounds to the front and rear of the building, including two courtyards. Resident’s can apply for a parking permit from Aberdeen City Council.
Location:
Located in the heart of historic Old Aberdeen, The Chanonry dates from the 14th century when it was the exclusive domain of the Canons of St Machar's Cathedral. The Chanonry forms a gracious tree lined approach to the Cathedral and is lined with elegant period houses. Its proximity to the University of Aberdeen the Cathedral lends an air of charm. The building itself enjoys a wonderful position close to the Botanic gardens and is well placed to enjoy walks to the river Don and along Donmouth Beach.
