Former north-east restaurant goes on market after sitting empty for a decade

A former Fraserburgh restaurant has gone on the market after sitting empty for about a decade.

The property in Seaforth Street had formerly been operated as a Chinese restaurant in the 1990s and had room for up to 40 diners.

But the dining room was eventually closed, and the business operated solely as a takeaway.

It was last known as the Little Panda in 2012 before it went out of business.

The takeaway had formerly been called Red Corner.

Now, in an attempt to move the building on, an auction has been scheduled in May to try and find a new owner.

Glasgow firm Auction House Scotland will offer the property for bids of about £100,000.

In advertising the restaurant to potential buyers, the firm has described the sale as a “great development opportunity”.

“This commercial opportunity is located in the coastal town of Fraserburgh and comprises restaurant, bar and kitchen on ground floor with three bedroom owner’s accommodation above,” they added.

“The restaurant offers seating to accommodate 30-40 covers and also includes a bar and seating area. This space could be reformatted to allow greater covers dependent on incoming owner’s plans.

“Towards the rear of the property is a storage area and high standard kitchen which is partially fitted with equipment all of which is new or in good condition.”

The property will be sold alongside an upstairs, three-bedroom flat.

The restaurant is sited next door to the former Station Hotel, which served its last meal in 2009.

The building was converted in houses in multiple occupancy (HMO) in the following two years, but was widely condemned by local councillors.

The plans were backed by the Scottish Government in 2012 on appeal.

Residents had feared the development would lead to a rise in antisocial behaviour.

Many called for the hotel business to be revived instead, to boost the local economy.
