Shepherd markets prime holiday let apartments in Inverness for sale
Shepherd Chartered Surveyors is marketing prime holiday let apartments in Inverness for sale.
Positioned on a prominent corner location on the west bank of the River Ness on Ness Walk at its junction with Young Street, the property is set within a popular tourist area of the city and enjoys spectacular views over the River Ness, the Ness Bridge up to Bridge Street/High Street and across to Inverness Castle.
It lies only a two minutes’ walk from the city centre and all amenities including the Eastgate Shopping Centre with Inverness railway station and bus station also within short walking distance.
Neighbouring properties mainly comprise hotels, B&B’s/guest houses, public houses and restaurants as well as offices occupied by professional firms and residential properties. The ground floor of the building is occupied by the Rocpool Restaurant which is in separate ownership.
The property provides three 2-bedroom self-contained apartments over first, second and third floors within a 4-storey stone and slate ‘B’ Listed building built circa 1884.
The first floor ‘Luxury’ apartment has two large double bedrooms, a bathroom and a large living / kitchen area. It is beautifully finished and attractively furnished throughout and has spectacular views over the castle, river and town centre.
The second floor ‘Elegant’ apartment is the largest, with a kitchen/living area, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The space is bright and airy and shares the same views as the other apartments.
The third floor ‘Penthouse’ apartment enjoys unbeatable spectacular views. The beautifully refurbished apartment has two large double bedrooms, a modern kitchen and lovely large living room with a unique ‘snug window seat’ to make the most of the epic view.
The building is a fine example of Scottish Baronial architecture by pre-eminent local architect Alexander Ross and depicts good quality stone features, including gabletted dormer heads, a canted corner corbelled to square with a granite column at angle, an oriel window and crowstepped gable detailing at roof level.
Entrance at street level is taken off Ness Walk adjacent to the Rocpool Restaurant leading to a common staircase to all floors.
Internally, the accommodation benefits from original features including timber sash and casement windows and high ceiling heights with decorative cornices. All mains services are available with gas central heating provided to each apartment.
Neil Calder, partner at Shepherd Chartered Surveyors, said: “As a tourist hub Inverness is the start and finish point for the NC 500, Scotland’s ultimate road trip of over 500 miles of stunning coastal scenery.
“There are outstanding areas such as the world-famous Loch Ness, minutes’ drive from the city centre serving the international and domestic tourist markets with activities such as golf, fishing, deer stalking, cycling and walking as well as historical sites such as Culloden Battlefield and Clava Cairns.”
The city and surrounds is also a hive of activity for the whisky and other distillery businesses and increasingly provide year-round trade to the local accommodation markets.
The Castle within the city is currently being refurbished along with its gardens and will be the focal point of a visitor attraction ‘Inverness Castle Experience’ scheduled to open in 2025.
“The apartments will be sold fully-equipped ready to trade to continue the existing business,” said Calder.
“Ness Apartments has been operating for a number of years by the vendors. Our client’s heritable interest in the property, which qualifies for 100% rates relief, is available including all fixtures and fittings and offers over £600,000 are sought. Alternatively, our client may consider selling individual apartments.”
