DUNAIN House, a substantial ‘C’ Listed stone building with redevelopment potential, in a prime location on the edge of Inverness, is set to go under the hammer in a live-streamed commercial property auction on 17th October at 2:30pm with a guide price of £295,000.

Located three miles to the southwest of Inverness city centre via the A82 Inverness to Fort William trunk road, Dunain House is set in an idyllic countryside area on an elevated site with outlooks over open fields and mature woodlands.

The property comprises the remnants of an 18th century former house which was extended in 1872 with side and rear additions.

The building was originally the House of Baillie of Dunain and formerly used as a hospital from the mid-50s until the mid-90s and thereafter a private residence.

Neil Calder, partner at Shepherd Chartered Surveyors, said: “Dunain House was extensively damaged by fire in 2014. There are substantial grounds extending to circa 5.85 acres. Access is off the main A82 road via a private single-track access road which runs between fields.

“The land around the house site is grassed over with mature woodland beyond. The property presents an attracvtive redevelopment opportunity, subject to securing the appropriate planning consent.”

The auction will be held on 17th October at 2:30pm and interested parties should register at: www.shepherd.co.uk/commercial-auctions
