The listed Cupar building which contained Jordans nightclub has returned to auction after failing to sell in an earlier attempt.
The Wm Watt Seed Merchant offices building is more than 200 years old after starting its life as the town jail.
It went up for sale for £630,000 by Future Property Auctions earlier this month.
With no bids forthcoming, the historic building is back on sale in an online auction which runs until Thursday at 3pm.
This time the opening bid has been set at £700,000.
Building’s potential and history
The B-listed building has been empty since in 2019 after being acquired by developers.
Jordans and Watts of Cupar restaurant both closed.
The building has been earmarked for 26 flats as well as offices, but work never started.
The listing states the building is a “perfect investment buy”.
It adds: “This is a substantial property with a prominent frontage. It is extremely well-positioned within the town of Cupar.
“It is sure to appeal to builders and developers looking for a great return on Investment.”
The building, which dates from 1813, was designed by prominent early 19th century architect James Gillespie Graham.
It was listed 50 years ago in recognition of its “classic two-storey seven-window composition with giant Roman doric columns”.
