A hotel which was once the home of Sir John Fowler – who built the Forth Road Rail Bridge and was a pioneer of the London Underground system – has come to the market for the first time in 14 years.
Braemore Square Country House can be found in the Loch Broom area of Wester Ross. The building dates back to 1840 and is made up of a combination of bed and breakfast and self catering accommodation. The 4 self catering apartments can be found in what was once the property’s stables and coach house. Although now renovated to provide a high standard of modern self catering accommodation, the rooms still retain many of their original Victorian features.
The bed and breakfast accommodation consists of 2 en-suite double bedrooms, a family room and a single room. The family and single room share a private bathroom and are currently only let out together. Both the self catering and bed and breakfast rooms have been given a 4 star VisitScotland rating, and Braemore Square has also been awarded a 2013 Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor, where it receives exemplary reviews from previous residents. Owners’ accommodation is included in the sale, which is traditionally furnished to a high standard, in keeping with the country style of the property.
The building itself is situated in approximately 20 acres of land and the owners have fishing rights to one and a half miles of the river, where fishing can be arranged for residents. The business benefits from the large number of travelers visiting the Scottish Highlands and is a perfect base for exploring.
Bruce & Co’s Jayne Adamson, who is handling the sale, commented: “The sale of Braemore Square offers a truly unique opportunity to purchase a charming estate full of character, which is located in some of the most beautiful surroundings.
This is an excellent business opportunity with flexibility to change the existing set up – such as offering only self catering accommodation or offering full use of the property on a holiday let basis.
Steeped in history as the former home of one of the pioneers of Victorian engineering, Braemore Square also offers a little slice of legacy and a true lifestyle opportunity.”
Bruce & Co is offering Braemore Square Country House for sale at offers over £799,995 for the freehold interest.
