A bid for planning permission for the building in Main Street has been lodged by Bruach Architects on behalf of an applicant.

If the project is given the go ahead, the two-storey traditional sandstone property from the late 19th century will be transformed into a house.

The council sold the building after the move was approved by the infrastructure, land and environment policy board towards the end of last year.

This came after it was declared “surplus to requirements” by the local authority in January 2023 and put up for sale on the open market.
