Selling agent Strutt & Parker, which is asking for offers over £395,000 for the Man Street property, describe it as “a substantial building located on the Tarbat peninsula” boasting fantastic views over the Dornoch Firth and the Sutherland hills.
The ground floor is made up of a large commercial space which is currently set out as a gallery but was previously used as a bistro restaurant/bar.
The commercial space has its own front entry and is made up of two connected rooms with log burner and a capacity for up to 50 covers. It also includes a servery area and toilet.
Those interested are told: “The owner's self-contained accommodation is a particular feature of Caledonian House and is located on first floor level. It comprises two bedrooms, a shower room, a kitchen and a large living room which has views overlooking the beach and the Dornoch Firth.”
The details say: “The business trades as a very successful guesthouse/bed & breakfast with gallery retail. There is an opportunity for a purchaser to re-instate a food and beverage operation given that the property still has a current premises licence.
“This is truly a unique opportunity to purchase a house and business located in an outstanding Highland tourist setting close to the main North Coast 500 route.”
The selling agent also promises that trading figures “will be made available to purchasers after formally viewing the property”, which enjoys a beachfront location and a garden area on the beach side opposite the main house with picnic tables.
Interested parties are told that “has the potential for an excellent outside trade area/beer garden should a new purchaser wish to pursue a food and beverage enterprise”.
