DESCRIPTION
24 Harrowden Road is located a few minutes walk from Inverness City Centre. Situated in a popular holiday and residential area, 24 Harrowden is ideally located to offer a selection of potential uses. This attractive late Victorian end of terrace villa enjoys many original features and is presented to a great standard. The quality of the finish can only be fully appreciated by viewing. The property is set over 2 floors and can comfortably sleep between 4 and 6, and sits within private grounds which are mostly set to lawn. The villa has a delightfully spacious lounge, an attractive modern kitchen, 3 well-appointed bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The business is presented with the benefit of a tenant occupying the property under a 6 month lease. Following the example of the previous owners, the current owners have continued to invest in the building ensuring that it is maintained to a great standard.
TRADE
The business currently generates its income from longer term lets although it has been utilised as a holiday let in the past. The benefit of the current model is that it does not involve day to day management thus reducing cost and allowing a more hands off management style. In Inverness there is a shortage of letting accommodation during the height of the tourist season and therefore longer-term let income levels are very sustainable. If there was a desire to drive the business, income could be readily expanded via holiday letting, as Inverness is a highly popular destination with business clientele and of course tourists.
