6 bedroom detached house

Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this excellent opportunity to purchase a stunning B&B in Wick town centre.  The Clachan is a longstanding guest house which enjoys repeat business and excellent reviews in a prominent location on the main NC500 route.

The property is being sold as a going concern due to the current owners wishing to retire having run the business successfully for a number of years. During their time in ownership, they have upgraded the property to provide a first-class establishment giving any new owner reassurance that they would not have any work to do for years to come. 

Finished to the highest of standards throughout, this attractive period property is of stone and slate construction and has the living accommodation split over two levels.  On the ground floor are the owners lounge and breakfast room, as well as a stunning new fitted kitchen and a well-equipped utility room.  The three-ground floor letting rooms are all immaculately presented and benefit from En suite shower rooms. There is also a further WC on the ground floor and a boiler room. On the second floor are a further three bedrooms, one of which has an En suite shower room as well as a dressing room and a family bathroom. 

At present the owners let four rooms out but this could be increased as they currently retain two rooms for their own personal use. The garden grounds are generous in size and are accessed through a private drive which has parking for several vehicles.  There is also a residents patio area, and a garage which provides further storage.

Currently the business is operating on a bed and breakfast basis under the VAT threshold but there is scope to extend the business and offer meals to both residents and non-residents. Throughout the property, this establishment is in excellent decorative order, and benefits from plenty of passing traffic due to its prominent location on the main NC 500 route which is popular for tourists.

The Royal Burgh of Wick is the most northerly town on the East Coast of Caithness and is on the very popular North Coast 500 (NC500) tourist route. The town offers multiple stores such as Tesco's, Boots, Superdrug, Argos and B&M as well as banks and a post office. The house is within easy driving distance of all amenities, including the Caithness General Hospital and Doctors Surgery. There are many leisure opportunities including a popular golf course, a squash club and a public swimming pool/gymnasium. The town also boasts the John O Groats Airport which offers flights throughout the UK. There are also good rail and coach services, with the property being within driving distance to the ferry terminals which have daily services to Orkney.

Viewing is essential to appreciate the standard of accommodation on offer and accounts can be provided to all seriously interested parties.
