The historic building will undergo repairs after the city council decided to proceed with the scheme last week.
The minimum cost of the repair and refurbishment works contained within the Condition Survey Cost report is estimated at £140,000. Additional structural and fit-out improvement work is estimated at about £150,000.

The project will concentrate on repairing, redecorating and enhancing the former family home of Thomas Blake Glover, in order to create a flexible resource capable of meeting the potential requirement of corporate uses.
Ad-hoc access to visitors will also be included as part of the wider trail and associated exhibition at the Aberdeen Maritime Museum.
Cllr Willie Young said: "It's fantastic that a refurbishment is to take place at Glover House as it's such an important part of the history of Thomas Blake Glover who helped shape the industrial history of Japan.
"The story of Thomas Blake Glover is one which is hugely significant for Japan and we want to showcase the part our city plays in that - the decision today for ACC to pay for the refurbishment moves this story along. We look forward to the work starting."
