Reference - 44997

Description
Bruce and Co. Are delighted to offer for sale St Andrew, providing bed and breakfast accommodation in a commanding property with elegant interior making the business very unique in the local area. The business has been under the very caring ownership of our clients for 11 years during which time they have carefully carried out substantial refurbishments throughout the entire property to a very high standard and they are still in the process of continuing these improvements to the business. They are reluctantly offering the business to the market due to their impending wish to retire. St Andrews provides the owners with an excellent source of income but also a wonderful home. The property truly is superbly presented and can only be appreciated in full by viewing. The business currently trades successfully but at a pace suitable with our clients’ lifestyle offering huge potential for new owners to increase turnover.
