Shepherd to auction substantial former care home in popular tourist location

Shepherd Chartered Surveyors is set to auction a substantial former care home in the popular tourist location of Grantown on Spey.

Dating from the late 1800’s, and known previously as the Palace Hotel, Grandview House has operated as a care home since 1989 until its recent closure.

With extensive frontage to the High Street and occupying a central location close to The Square, Grandview House features 45 bedrooms, mainly single occupancy with en-suite facilities.

Grantown on Spey is one of the principal towns within the designated Cairngorm National Park area located 35 miles south of Inverness. The town lies within Spey Valley and is renowned as an all-year-round holiday destination with a vast range of hotels and guests houses together with primary and grammar Schools.

The town is also renowned for its sporting facilities, which include an 18-hole golf course, excellent salmon and trout fishing in the River Spey and facilities for other water activities, tennis, and bowling. The Cairngorm and Lecht mountain range as well as other winter sport facilities are within easy travelling distance.

Neil Calder, partner in the Inverness office of Shepherd Chartered Surveyors, said: “The property is ripe for refurbishment and conversion, subject to securing the appropriate planning consents.

“While the property has most recently operated as a care home, other potential uses including conversion to residential flats, hotel, hostel or tourist accommodation may be possible.”

With a guide price of £260,000, the property will be auctioned on Tuesday 28th February 2023 at 2.30 pm.
