DESCRIPTION

Kinnaird House is a stunning Victorian property dating from 1885 and currently trades primarily as a self-catering business which has 3 distinct income steams; Kinnaird House, Kinnaird Cottage and The Studio Flat. The main house is presented in excellent condition and it is evident that there is an active maintenance and upgrading program in place. The quality of the fixtures and fittings is of an impressive standard which is reflected throughout. The property offers a flexible array of accommodation which would suit a family or a couple with a variety of owner's accommodation options. The 6-bedroom house seamlessly blends the character and charm of a Victorian building with the qualitative standards required of the modern discerning tourist. The 2-bedroom cottage offers a further letting option or could make attractive owner's accommodation. The one-bedroom studio flat could equally be further owner's accommodation or add to the letting portfolio.

A most attractive feature of this property is the elevated site with tremendous views including over the town of Pitlochry, which is only a 3-minute drive away. Only by viewing can one appreciate the absolute beauty of the location of this stunning property and business. The property has a significant footprint and spacious well-maintained garden grounds.

REASON FOR SALE

The vendors have developed the business to reflect their exacting standards and unique operation model. However, it is their desire to enjoy the fruits of their labour and reduce their work commitments that brings this attractive property and successful business to the market as a leasehold proposition.

TRADE

Kinnaird House and Cottage is an established and charming holiday letting business enjoying a high level of occupancy and generating strong profitability. The business has a consistent level of turnover from a fairly simple trading model. The extant business model is to let the house as a single unit as luxury self-catering accommodation both for short and weekly lets. The current owners no longer choose to operate B&B between self-catering lets in the high season but they still have a B&B website and are registered on booking.com; thus B&B could be set up easily if so desired. This is an easy-to-operate trading platform which requires a relatively low amount of input from the vendors. The business operates year-round.

An attractive feature of this business model is that operators can enjoy both higher profit margins, and greater free time, than they could running a traditional bed and breakfast. The business offers flexible trading options as new owners could continue with the extant arrangement or should they wish, operate solely as a high-end bed and breakfast business. The business has its own excellent website plus utilises a number of portal websites. The house could be further developed, both in the roof space, and at the rear.
