This impressive Category C listed Victorian villa, constructed in 1890, presents a unique redevelopment opportunity in the heart of Aberfeldy. Dunolly House boasts a striking tower and is steeped in historical significance, having associations with the royal bagpipe maker to Queen Victoria, as well as serving as a hostel for Breadalbane Academy's female pupils in its later years.
Significantly, planning consent (Ref: 24/00279/FLL) and Listed Building Consent (Ref: 24/00304/LBC) have already been granted for converting this grand property into eight serviced apartments, making it a promising project for investors looking to capitalize on Aberfeldy's growing tourism appeal. Initial improvement works have been undertaken, including re-roofing of the tower, enhancing window lintels, replacing gutters, and comprehensive dry rot treatments that assure the property is primed for redevelopment.
The building spans three storeys and a mezzanine level with a total area of approximately 632 sqm (6,803 sqft), featuring an extension that adds to its versatility. Nestled within approximately 0.68 acres of mature gardens with ample parking potential, this property is surrounded by other notable Victorian homes and established holiday accommodations.
Aberfeldy itself offers essential amenities including a new medical centre, shops, restaurants, and community facilities like the Birks Cinema and Breadalbane Community Campus. With good transport links via Pitlochry's mainline railway station just 15 miles away—providing connections to major cities—the location is increasingly desirable for both residents and tourists alike.
For those looking to invest in Scotland’s vibrant property market with an eye towards creating modern living spaces while preserving historic integrity, Dunolly House represents a rare opportunity not to be missed.
