Скачать или смотреть Business Opportunity in the Shetland Islands

An exciting opportunity has arisen for someone to purchase this charming 10 bedroom property/family home in the Shetland Islands, presently operating as a successful Guest House. This property as a large family home has the benefit of great earning potential using the popular and lucrative Air BnB, through the letting of the bedrooms.

Shetland is a popular tourist destination attracting visitors from across the whole world. There are also accommodation demands from contractors and business people who travel regularly to do business in the islands.

Herrislea House is located just above the Tingwall crossroads in the centre of the village.

The property lies in a rural area just 5 miles from the centre of Lerwick. The location means the property is ideally placed for commuting into Lerwick or for access to the north, Brae / Sullom Voe etc.

The local primary school, nursery and active community hall are situated close by; other amenities are available at Scalloway or Lerwick, buses to Lerwick running throughout the day along the road past the house.

There are two golf courses nearby - ‘Asta’ and ‘Dale’ as well as various fishing lochs.

The property compromises:

Ground Floor - Entrance porch, reception area/office, lounge room, toilets, dining room, kitchen and laundry.

First Floor - 8 En-suite bedrooms. All bathrooms with bath and shower over. Second Floor - 2 En-suite rooms (This has the potential to be easily converted into a top floor apartment)

The Herrislea House was acquired by the present owners in 1997 in a burnt out shell condition. Since acquiring the property they have extensively refurbished the accommodation as well as developing a business with an excellent local reputation. Herrislea House has 9 letting rooms, staff accommodation, a good sized restaurant area, large residents lounge, and an excellent commercial kitchen. There is ample parking in front and to the side of the Hotel.

The business is predominately accommodation sales. There is scope to develop the business by reopening the restaurant to the public. This would ideally suit a young couple or business partners looking to develop the business, whilst enjoying the island lifestyle.
