    Description

    A rare opportunity to purchase this detached former care home which has most recently been operated as an HMO supporting vulnerable adults. Previously the property was used as a guest house, ideally located only two miles from the A9 and the ever popular North Coast 500 tourist driving route.

    Balblair House was constructed as a traditional Victorian villa around the 1880s. This substantial property with its imposing façade is set within an acre of mature private gardens and is set back from the main road within the charming village of Edderton. The property retains many original features despite being adapted for its recent role as a care home.

    The property has 13 bedrooms in total with 10 having modern en-suites, along with several lounges, large dining area, commercial kitchen and offices.

    The overall layout of the property is very flexible which would allow it to be used for several different purposes within hospitality or care sectors or a large family home, subject to consents.
