DESCRIPTION

TIGH AN EACH
Extending to approximately 3.88 acres in total, Tigh an Each comprises a substantial house currently used as a B&B, 4 glamping pods, a newly approved and serviced caravan and camping site together with a range of equestrian facilities including equipped stable, winter turnout, grazings and an all-weather arena capable of accommodating international dressage and eventing setup.

An expansive high specification two storey house constructed in 2010 under pitched timber frame slate covered roof and harled externally, benefiting from high performance 'NorDan' timber double glazed windows and doors throughout, Solar PV panel on the southern elevation, dual fuel air source heat pump and oil-fired central heating system and private water supply. All with magnificent views of the Spey river valley and the Grampian Mountains beyond.

The current configuration on the ground floor comprises a reception hall which leads to the kitchen and dining area, double bedroom, bathroom, and a generous lounge with full height sliding doors opening onto the well maintained south facing garden. To the rear there is a useful utility and boot room, WC and additional storage space. The first floor provides two large double bedrooms with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, which sit across the hall and are essentially a mirror image of each other. There is also a third box room currently used as a bedroom which could be used as a nursey or home office.

Outside, the enclosed private area of garden extends to approximately 0.16 acres to the front of the house, making the most of the available sunlight bathing the house on a clear day. To the rear there is a wide driveway with ample parking for multiple cars and provides access to the glamping pods.

The house benefits an energy efficient 3.6KW Solar PV panel array on the southern elevation, which partially offsets energy consumption, while solar thermal panels provide additional hot water. There is an optional dual fuel system with an air source heat pump complimenting the conventional oil boiler, allowing the Proprietor to manage fuel costs as efficiently as possible.

LAGGAN GLAMPING PODS
Immediately adjacent to the house are the four well-presented glamping pods and the ever-popular BBQ hut which can fit up to 20 people. The pods are well apportioned, minimalistic but comfortable, sleeping up to 2 adults and 3 children in a combination of double or bunk beds. There is a kitchenette unit adjacent to the modest living space and a bathroom with toilet, sink and shower. All are of timber frame construction under asphalt tiled roof, with an outdoor timber decking area and space to park a car.

CARAVAN AND CAMPSITE
Tigh an Each now offers a Caravan and Motorhome Club certified site with fully serviced
hard standing pitches.

The demand for tourist accommodation in the Highlands seems to be perpetually increasing due to the growth in popularity of staycations, and for instance, the domestic and international appeal of the North Coast 500 in addition to all that the local area has to offer.

Tigh an Each allows potential purchasers to capitalise on the existing and indeed projected opportunity with a range of accommodation and service options that between them should cater to the vast majority of customer’s needs.

Further details of the financial performance of the business may be made available following the signing of a standard non-disclosure agreement.

RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
Planning permission has been granted for the erection of a second sizeable residential property on a plot extending to 0.13 acres immediately adjacent to the existing house. Full details can be found on the Highland Council planning portal reference 20/05138/FUL.

EQUESTRIAN YARD
Alongside the leisure element of the business, the remaining land is well appointed with equestrian facilities and is currently used as a school with approximately 1.5 acres of on-site grazing at the southern extremity of the property, and winter turnout to the north, with modern stables which are of timber frame construction over a reinforced concrete floor extending to approximately 178m2 in an L-shaped configuration around a hardcore yard.

There is also an all-weather sand and fibre arena measuring 60m x 30m, suitable for international dressage and eventing set up.

Subject to securing the requisite planning permission, the arena may provide scope to extend the caravan and camping offering or install additional pods, with the stable and yard potentially being converted to form a communal facilities block with toilets and showers
