Presenting an intriguing opportunity for renovation and investment in the coastal village of New Aberdour, this former B-listed hotel is poised for redevelopment. The property has already undergone substantial initial renovations, with the current owners having started significant restoration work before a change in circumstances necessitated their move mid-project.
Full planning permission (APP/2018/1816) and listed building consent (APP/2018/1817) have been secured for converting the structure into a four-bedroom residence, alongside an approved building warrant. These approvals streamline the path for any developer or individual looking to capitalize on the potential of this historic site.
Once derelict for over 15 years until 2022, much of the interior required extensive work. However, recent efforts have focused on vital structural improvements: the roof has been entirely re-slated, chimneys restored, and stone walls have been stripped of damp cement render and expertly repaired with breathable lime mortar. All sash windows have been addressed to match historical accuracy, thereby mitigating conservation risks and ensuring that the building is now wind and watertight.
The previous unsympathetic extensions from the 1970s have been removed to reveal a clear garden space, enhancing both accessibility and aesthetic appeal. This groundwork lays an excellent foundation for a small builder or investor looking to create a unique family home or capitalize on rental potential.
Details regarding completed works are available upon request after scheduling a formal viewing. The property is freehold with essential services already connected onsite, including electricity from Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks and water/sewerage provided by Scottish Water. Though mobile coverage may be limited to 3G, 4G, and 5G, this charming coastal locale offers a distinctive opportunity for those looking to invest in a piece of history while making it their own.
