The 7,360-square-foot property includes office accommodation and two levels of cells.

The former Campbeltown police station is to go under the hammer in a live-streamed commercial property auction.

The property is in Campbeltown town centre on the Kintyre Peninsula within the Argyll and Bute Council area.

Shepherd Commercial Property Auction said the former police station is "suitable for residential conversion, subject to planning permission".

The agent said: "Campbeltown benefits from strong transport links with the A83 providing access to the north and central belt of Scotland. Campbeltown Ferry Terminal is 0.5 miles from the property, offering services to Tarbert and Ardrossan, while Campbeltown Airport is also nearby, offering flights to and from Glasgow International Airport.

"Campbeltown Grammar School is the town's main secondary school and is situated less than a mile from the property. This is further complemented by two primary schools serving the surrounding area."

Shepherd added: "The former police station occupies a prominent pitch on Castlehill which provides access to Campbeltown town centre. The surrounding area consists of a blend between residential and commercial operators including Argyll Arms Hotel, Campbeltown Town Hall and The Royal Hotel.

"The property spans ground and first floors and benefits from traditional stone construction, surmounted by a pitched and slated roof with an additional extension to the rear. Vehicular access can be granted via Castlehill as well as numerous pedestrian entrances located at different points around the premises."

The property has office accommodation alongside four holding cells, dedicated water closet facilities and a kitchen area, with another row of cells and further offices on the first floor.

It also has a large car park which contains a garage previously used for the maintenance of police cars.

Calvin Molinari, surveyor at Shepherd, said: "Within proximity to public transport links and with suitability for residential conversion, subject to planning permission, we anticipate much interest in this auction lot."

The auction is to be held on October 30. The property guide price is £45,000.
