Inverglen, 7 Abertarff Road, Inverness, IV2

Inverglen is in the popular Crown Conservation Area of Inverness. The property is set on a peaceful residential street and is within close walking proximity to well regarded primary and secondary schools, the city centre and the River Ness, while there is easy access to all main routes out of the city. This long-established guest house is in one of the most desirable areas of Inverness and in an ideal location from which to grow the business or return to a family home.

Inverness has all the facilities of a thriving modern city and the mix of old and new has allowed the city to retain much of its historic dignity and strong Highland culture which blend well with modern theatre and the arts. There are good communications by both road and rail and the airport, about a twenty minute drive away, offers regular flights to the south and Europe. The city and region benefit from continued investment with the expanding University, the recently awarded Cromarty Firth Freeport status, and considerable growth in renewables and infrastructure. This combined with the improvements in communications and a recognised quality of life, increases demand for both permanent and temporary accommodation in the city.

The countryside of the Scottish Highlands is varied from the fertile, rolling farmland of the coast to the inland moorlands and rugged mountains. This unspoilt landscape provides a haven for many rare and protected species of wildlife as well as a wide range of rural leisure and sporting opportunities from way-marked walks and cycle trails on the Black Isle, to skiing and adventure sports in the Cairngorms National Park.

Inverglen has been a guest house since the 1970’s and the current owner, who purchased it in 2020, has continued to run it as such, operating for six months of the year and achieving high occupancy levels. The property has been considerably improved by the seller and this work includes upgrading and refurbishing the bedrooms and en suite shower rooms, a new kitchen, a new boiler and water tanks, new internal doors throughout, some new radiators and redecoration. In addition, the grounds have been landscaped to create a generous parking area and an immaculate setting for the house. The guest house now offers a high, hotel quality standard of accommodation with the potential to expand the business or return to residential use.
