A former manager’s house linked to one of Paisley’s best-known cinemas has gone on the market, offering a new owner the chance to acquire a small but significant piece of the town’s entertainment history.
A property at 10 Lady Lane, Paisley, which was once the manager’s house of the former Regal Cinema, is being offered for sale with offers over £210,000.
The property, extending to around 3,910 square feet, is currently described as being suitable for light industrial and office use, with associated yard space.
The two-storey office accommodation occupies the building at the front of the site, facing directly onto Lady Lane. Internally, it includes a reception area, boardroom and a number of private office rooms.
To the rear of the site is a further two-storey, L-shaped building providing workshop and storage accommodation, together with a rear yard.
Access to the rear workshop and yard is through a covered passageway measuring approximately 2.7 metres high and 2.6 metres wide.
The property benefits from three-phase electricity and a gas supply, making it suitable for a variety of commercial uses.
But behind the modern commercial description lies a connection to a fascinating chapter in Paisley’s cinema history.
The building was formerly associated with the Regal Cinema, which was once an important entertainment venue in the town. While the property has subsequently been adapted for commercial purposes, its connection to the cinema provides an intriguing reminder of the buildings and people behind Paisley’s much-loved picture houses.
For anyone interested in Paisley’s built and social history, the sale is likely to attract attention—not simply because of its commercial potential, but because the property represents a surviving link to an era when cinema managers were an important part of the town’s entertainment landscape.
With a guide price of £210,000, the former manager’s house is now waiting for its next chapter.
