Description
The Abbey Mill is exactly as described – a former corn mill for the Abbey brewery. It has for many years been used for retail purposes, most recently by Edinburgh Woollen Mill who traded under the Abbey Mill brand locally. The property comprises a two storey former mill building with extension to the rear. It provides retail sales accommodation at ground floor over essentially one level with a change in levels towards the middle part of the retail area, together with ancillary staff and storage accommodation. There is a restaurant and public toilets located on the first floor which was operated essentially as a café in support of the retail operation at ground floor. The property is of stone construction with a more modern single storey extension to the rear and benefits from exclusive use of the tarmac car park area to the front providing car parking for approximately 10 cars.
Location
The premises are located on Annay Road (the B6361) on the edge of Melrose town centre and close to the famous Melrose Abbey. Melrose is an prosperous Scottish Borders town, the birthplace of Rugby Sevens and home to Melrose Rugby Club. The town is particularly famous for its Abbey, which was founded in the early 12th century and “probably the most famous ruin in Scotland” (Visit Scotland), with some of the most elegant monastic remains in Britain. The Abbey is thought to be the site of the burial of Robert the Bruce’s heart, marked with a commemorative stone plaque within the grounds. Melrose is situated between the Eildon Hills and the River Tweed. The town is very popular with tourists and provides an extensive range of quality amenities ranging from a variety of specialist shops, small supermarkets, restaurants and a selection of hotels. Edinburgh is within commuting distance by car via the A68 or A7 or by Borders Railway (with Tweedbank Station) a short drive away. The journey time to Edinburgh is around 55 minutes.
