DESCRIPTION
McIntyre & Company Estate Agents are delighted to bring Bank House Bed & Breakfast and Bank House Apartment to the market.
Ian & Sue saw a unique opportunity to snatch their very own little piece of history when they purchased Bank of Scotland House in 2013. The building was built in 1904 for the Bank Manager and his family with the adjacent building being the Bank of Scotland where the Bank operated from until it closed in 2023. Having refurbished, renovated and extended the Bank House, when the opportunity arose to purchase the Bank part they couldn't refuse as this would keep the house as one.
This now imposing detached stone built Bed & Breakfast and its adjacent Apartment have been sympathetically and tastefully refurbished whilst ensuring to keep many of its original features and charm. Its versatile accommodation offers a touch of luxury, space and a warm welcome in the form of 5 letting rooms, private owners accommodation and a charming fully renovated independent apartment.
With tourism being one of the biggest contributors to our local economy operating a successful Bed & Breakfast with independent owners accommodation and the added bonus of an independent apartment can provide a highly desirable and profitable income.
This is an exceptional business opportunity whereby the current owners have established a good reputation with repeat visitors, great reviews and a high occupancy level during the holiday season.
The Bed & Breakfast and Apartment still retain all of the period character and charm of the former Bank. It boasts spacious accommodation all in immaculate, walk in condition that provides a better than home from home experience.
