Unique development opportunity located in the stunning coastal village of New Aberdour, with full planning permission for a four-bedroom house



Property Description
McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to present to the market a unique development opportunity located in the stunning coastal village of New Aberdour.
The former B-listed hotel is a ‘work in progress’ as the current owners have started major renovation works and due to personal circumstances have had to relocate mid-project, making this a perfect project for a small developer looking for a ‘quick win’. Full planning permission (ref APP/2018/1816) and listed building consent (ref APP/2018/1817) were granted for a four-bedroom house. A building warrant has also been passed.
Having been derelict for 15 years until 2022, there was nothing of this fine old building’s interior left to save. The current owners have made good the roof structure; completely re-slated the roof; restored the chimneys; stripped the stone walls of their damp cement render and repaired and repointed them in breathable lime; and repaired – or renewed, to match – all the sash windows. This work has removed all the ‘conservation risk’ from this beautiful old building, leaving it wind and water tight, ready for a ‘modern’ eco house to be built within. In the course of works two unsympathetic 1970s extensions were removed, and the garden completely cleared.
The property would make an exciting development opportunity for a small builder, or indeed a fantastic family home once complete.
A full list of works completed to date by the current owner is available following a formal viewing appointment.
