A guest house offering tourists a base to discover one of “Scotland’s most prestigious golf courses and Speyside’s world-renowned distilleries” has come on to the market.
The newly refurbished Sandown House, a detached property with a conservatory and two-storey coach house, is being sold as its current owners plan to retire.
The five-star guest house, which has six en-suite bedrooms and owners' accommodation, is on the market at offers over £825,000 for the heritable interest.
Graham + Sibbald, which is handling the sale, said the proprietors have run a “very profitable” business for the last 18 years, during which time they have significantly invested in the property, including the addition of four suites.
