The 17th century property is set within eight acres of private grounds, and previously operated as a 17-bedroom country house hotel. Kirroughtree House Hotel was the family seat of the Heron Family from the 15th to 19th centuries, and it is also believed that the house had connections to both James Boswell and Robert Burns, each having stayed as guests during the late 18th century.
The hotel has been under the current ownership since 2012, and is now being sold due to retirement. The property is available with vacant possesion and offers various opportunities for development, including reopening as a hotel with new investment, or alternatively conversion to residential, self-catered apartments or other uses, subject to relevant consents.
Tony Spence, Associate Director at Christie & Co who is handling the sale, comments, “This building presents a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to create a destination in the stunning south of Scotland. We have received a great response to initial marketing so far and would urge any interested parties to get in touch for further information or to arrange a viewing.
The property has previously been a successful hotel, exclusive-use, wedding and spiritual centre. It could once again be re-opened for continued use, following a full restoration and refitting. The tourism market in the south of Scotland continues to grow and has been boosted further by the 'staycation' holiday maker, while the traditional charm and character throughout the property and private grounds may also be of interest to wedding venue operators.
Due to the outdoor space and surrounding woodland, the property may also be of interest to outdoor activity companies, catering for groups or school hires. The possibilities with a building as flexible in purpose as this are substantial and varied, and the surrounding land has many development opportunities too, with the adjacent lodge park being a potential source of customers.”
The building freehold is being marketed at an asking price of offers over £695,000.
