Set on a prominent plot in Royal Deeside, No. 45 Braemar Road is an 11-bedroom Victorian granite guest house blending period character with sympathetic modernisation. The property operates as a profitable lifestyle business with a strong local reputation and frequent return guests — ideal for an owner-operator seeking immediate trading income and a rural tourism base near the Cairngorms.
The house includes two large resident lounges, a breakfast conservatory with garden views, a south-facing garden, workshop, and a one-bedroom self-contained cabin. Ample off-street parking and a substantial driveway support high guest turnover and coach or multi-car arrivals. The freehold tenure and sizeable plot give scope for modest expansion or reconfiguration subject to planning.
Buyers should note clear operational and physical considerations: the listing records only one bathroom for 11 letting bedrooms, broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average, and the wider area is classified as deprived which may affect staffing and local services. As a period property, ongoing maintenance and sympathetic repairs will be required to retain character and standards.
This opportunity suits investors or owner-operators who value location, repeat custom, and turn-key trading. With its mix of historic charm, modernised guest facilities, and outbuilding accommodation, the property offers immediate cashflow with potential to increase revenue through digital upgrades, minor refurbishments, or targeted marketing to Cairngorms visitors.
