Prospect Lodge in Elgin is due to go under the hammer later this week, with Shepherd Commercial Property Auction confirming a guide of £295,000 for the former business centre.

Elgin, the administrative heart of Moray, sits around 66 miles north‑west of Aberdeen and 39 miles south‑east of Inverness. The town serves as the region's main hub for public services, retail and education, and supports key sectors including tourism, agriculture, healthcare, food and drink, textiles and distilling. Its position within Speyside whisky country, alongside access to the Cairngorms National Park and the Malt Whisky Trail, underpins its popularity with visitors.

Set on Mayne Road just a short walk from the High Street, the property benefits from dual access off Mayne Road and from a rear car park on South Street, which links directly to Hay Street on the A941.

The immediate area is largely residential with a mix of local businesses, a primary school and several boutique hotels and B&Bs. Dr Gray's Hospital, a key NHS Grampian district general hospital, is also nearby.

Comprising an attractive detached three‑bay Georgian building of stone and slate dating from around 1827, the two‑storey‑plus‑attic, 'B' listed property retains ornate original features. Generous ceiling heights, decorative coving and large windows provide strong natural light throughout.

Linda Cameron, surveyor at Shepherd, said: "The property has most recently operated as a business centre providing 12 rooms used as a mix of offices and therapy suites across all floors. Such uses could continue or the property may present a redevelopment opportunity, subject to planning.

"Ample IT and electrical points are installed throughout in addition to a high-speed internet connection. Each floor within the building has toilet and kitchen facilities. There is a car park accessed off South Street at the rear which provides 10 car parking spaces. The building is DDA compliant with ramped access provided at the rear."

The online auction will take place at 2.30pm on Thursday 16 April. Interested bidders can register at www.shepherd.co.uk/auctions-remote-bidding/.
