Large house must be viewed to appreciate the space! Home Report Valuation - £200, 000 This property has an amazing past history, and amazing space internally! The property was once known as John Street Hall, (The Village Hall). In it, Sir Harry Lauder took to the stage at the age of 12 in talent contests and was later presented the Abyssinian Gold Watch on the same stage, in recognition of his talent and marked the beginning of his show business career and ultimately super stardom. Over the years it has been the Village Hall, Arbroath Dance Academy and accommodated everything from religious to political radicalism, to carpet bowls! Being the centre of Arbroath's artistic quarters and on at least two occasions the founder of the Salvation Army (General William Booth) spoke in the hall. It also has clear links to the Arbroath Fishing Industry as a meeting place and ultimately a Fishing Store in the 1920's. It was converted into residential accommodation about 5 years ago and re-roofed 9 years ago. The cental hall is used as a large spacious living area, retaining many features including timber from Dundee Harbour. This is a large, fun, family home but could easily be used as a business area with accommodation links to Sir Harry Lauder and The Arbroath Fishing Industry and its close proximity to the harbour. Its uses will only be limited by the purchasers imagination. There is no garden but there is a shared courtyard with drying area. Please see also general details.
