Location! Location! Location! This is a wonderful opportunity for the owner/occupier of this deceptively large and beautifully modernised property to become a financially successful Air BnB host, by capitalising on its great city centre location with off-street parking, sitting in a prime position at the beginning of the main arterial road from the city to Loch Ness and the south.
You can benefit from the potential one-bedroom ground floor flat within the rear of the property, which could have its own private entrance and individual off-street parking bay.
The property also has a high level of fire safety, which may meet the standard required for a short-let certificate. All bedrooms have fire doors with intumescent seals, door closers and Yale locks.
There is also a very good hard-wired fire alarm system with battery backup along with fire extinguishers and a fire blanket.
Within this tourist flat, there are several letting options.
(A) Conservatory studio flat, with perhaps a bed settee, one or two studio couches or recliners.
(B) One bedroom flat, with additional double divan and single divan, or three single divans
(C) Two-bedroom flat (with minor joinery work required) with an additional double divan or two single divans.
The owner can then occupy the large front living room,with the original front door for private access, as well as three bedrooms, mezzanine shower room and a fully modernised large attic (approximately 15 x 9 ).
In central Inverness, you may find some short lets hosts are advertising one-bedroom flats for well over £100 per night on websites. Check out Air BnB hosting websites, for Inverness, and be prepared to be astonished at the prices being asked and paid.
The alternative option is that the owner may choose to occupy the rear, one-bedroom ground floor flat, which should be more financially rewarding, by capitalising on the short let rooms by advertising each individually at perhaps circa £50 per night with a share of the excellent mezzanine shower room.
An ambitious owner/occupier with entrepreneurial skills may decide to host the whole house, put some bedroom furniture in the large attic, for himself, then luxuriate in the whole house during the day, after his guests have gone AWOL. And perhaps invest in a couple of lovely chalets at the foot of the very large garden. Small cars may access the rear of the property but would require some careful driving. Backpackers and tourists will love this location being just a few minutes minute walk from Ness Bridge.
The current home report valuation is £245,000 however this property is far more than just a house. It can possibly solve much of, and perhaps all of, your current mortgage, electric and gas woes and perhaps much much more.
(A short-term hosting certificate and planning/building warrants may be required for any alterations)
