LOCATION

The Treehouse benefits from an extremely prominent trading position on the corner of Main Street and Kirk Street, with Main Street being the main retail thoroughfare within Campbeltown, a popular town and former Royal Burgh which lies on the stunning Kintyre Peninsula in Western Scotland.

The subjects lie within a busy commercial area with a good surrounding mix of shops, offices, bars, restaurants & cafes, ensuring good levels of footfall & passing traffic throughout the day and evening. The subjects are only a short walk to the harbour front and ferry terminal, and other nearby amenities and attractions include the Campbeltown Picture House, Kinloch Public Park and the Linda McCartney Memorial Garden.

Campbeltown is a charming coastal town known for its rich maritime history, friendly community, and stunning natural surroundings. Once hailed as the “whisky capital of the world,” the town still boasts several renowned distilleries and attracts whisky enthusiasts year-round, with 3 new distilleries currently under construction.

Campbeltown offers a unique blend of heritage and tranquillity, with picturesque views over Campbeltown Loch and easy access to unspoiled beaches, golf courses, and walking trails. The town serves as a regional hub for locals and visitors alike, with regular ferry connections, a small airport, and a growing tourism industry driven by its cultural festivals, whisky tours, and outdoor pursuits.

Nearby Machrihanish Golf Course is world renowned and is undergoing a multi-million-pound expansion including the addition of a second 18-hole championship links course, including a new luxury hotel, clubhouse, and 50 new golf cottages.  This will greatly enhance the local economy and has in part also led to work being done on Campbeltown Harbour to cater for cruise ships and large boats, including the Waverley, in anticipation of the local boom and expected increase in visitor numbers from throughout the world.

THE PROPERTY

The subjects comprise part ground floor of this traditional, 3-storey property with attic dormer features, all under a pitched tiled roof.

DESCRIPTION

The subjects are accessed directly from Main Street but benefit from a highly prominent return frontage on Kirk Street providing fantastic window display space within this stunning frontage with stylish signage above.

Internally the premises were completely refurbished by our clients only a few years ago and have been designed and fitted to a high standard to create a spacious, open-plan retail space with a warm and welcoming, homely environment, with quality finishings throughout.

The retail counter is positioned to the left-hand side of the premises and benefits from an epos till system and a large counter area for wrapping etc.

The shop is well stocked with a great selection of quality products, and stock is displayed on a variety of display cabinets, shelving units, tables, hanging rails and display racks.

ANCILLARY AREAS

To the rear of the retail premises there is a back shop area that provides two storage areas with shelving units, a kitchenette and staff toilet.

SIZE

We understand that the premises have an approximate area of 105.62 SqM (1,137 SqFt)

THE BUSINESS

Our clients established The Treehouse approximately 18 years ago originally trading from nearby Mafeking Place, before getting the opportunity to purchase the current premises where they relocated to in March 2020, so the business is extremely well established in the town and something of a local institution.

The business enjoys a tremendous reputation for its excellent range of products, stocking a great selection of high end giftware, greetings cards, jewellery, candles, wax melts, scented sachets, children’s toys & books, handbags & purses, and also has the honour of being the only chosen stockist in Campbeltown of the crazily popular ‘Jellycat’ soft toys which people travel far and wide for.

The business trades 10am-5pm, 6 days a week, closing on Sunday and it is felt there is huge potential to open longer hours should a new owner wish. Also, due to our client’s other business commitments, the business is run by 3 part time members of staff, and whilst this may suit a new owner, it is felt that the business would be ideally suited to a more hands-on owner operator who could fully concentrate on developing the business further.

The business has an e-commerce website (www.thetreehousecampbeltown.co.uk) and Facebook & Instagram pages, but it is felt that there is further potential to increase online sales and presence.
