Cameron’s Barber Shop occupies a prominent red sandstone frontage on Academy Street in Inverness Old Town, trading as a well-established, profitable gentleman’s barber. The ground-floor shop is fitted and trading turnkey, with a spacious salon, backwash, waiting area, backroom kitchen and WC, plus an extensive loyal customer base and strong passing trade. The business currently operates with two barbers but has scope to expand to six chairs and increase turnover through extended hours, product sales or additional services.
Included in the freehold sale is a spacious two-bedroom flat over first and second floors (84m²), with independent entrance and separate utilities, compliant with current letting legislation and suitable either for owner-occupation or as a rental unit. The property has been recently maintained with sympathetic works to the roof, chimney and exterior and benefits from excellent mobile signal and average broadband.
Buyers should note material constraints: the building is Category B listed and lies within a conservation area, which will restrict alterations and may add cost and delay to change-of-use or refurbishment plans. The surrounding ward is classified as very deprived, which may affect certain business strategies, and the retail EPC is TBC. The yard is shared and outdoor space is minimal.
This opportunity will suit investor-operators or an owner-occupier seeking a turn-key high-street business with immediate income and physical accommodation above. The combination of established goodwill, central Old Town location and residential floorplate offers both trading income and long-term asset value, provided purchasers factor listed-building consent requirements into future plans.
