Summary - 29, HIGH STREET IV17 0PT
1 bed 1 bath Retail Property (high street)
Turn-key, profitable high-street hardware business with large sales area and secure rear storage.
Prominent sandstone high-street frontage on Alness High Street
A rare high-street hardware business offered as a leasehold going concern in central Alness. Home & Hardware occupies an attractive sandstone frontage with a large, intelligently laid-out ground-floor sales area of approximately 240m² (2,583 sq ft total), two secure rear shipping-container stores and two off-street parking spaces — strong practical assets for retail operations.
The business has traded successfully for c.13 years, with established supplier ties (Home Hardware Scotland Ltd), modern EPOS and CCTV systems, and diversified sales including DIY, garden, pet and electrical lines. Trading is described as profitable with solid turnover; comprehensive accounts will be made available to genuinely interested parties. EPC B is in place.
Important commercial facts: the sale is for the leasehold interest, goodwill and trade contents (stock at valuation sold separately). The current owner is retiring. The area classification notes a very deprived locality with a transitional Eastern European neighbourhood and predominantly primary-sector workers — factors that influence local spending patterns and should be considered by buyers.
This property will suit an investor or buyer seeking an established, turn-key retail operation with immediate income potential, room for merchandising or marketing improvements, and the benefits of a prominent high-street position adjacent to the A9. Drawbacks include leasehold tenure, local area deprivation, and the requirement to purchase stock at valuation on completion.
