Dunolly House, Taybridge Drive, Aberfeldy, PH15 2BP

Dating from 1890, Dunolly House is a Category C listed Victorian mansion with historic associations to the bagpipe maker to Her Majesty Queen Victoria. In later years, the property was occupied by Breadalbane Academy and used as a hostel for female pupils.

On 9 October 2024, full Planning Consent (Ref: 24/00279/FLL) and Listed Building Consent (Ref: 24/00304/LBC) were granted for a change of use and alterations to create eight serviced apartments.

The building has already benefited from substantial remedial works and initial improvements in preparation for its redevelopment. Set among similarly impressive Victorian properties and established holiday accommodation, its current condition represents a rare, ready to proceed development opportunity, with full building warrants and all requisite permissions already in place.

The initial improvement works include re-roofing to the tower, window lintel improvements, replacement of gutters, full and complete dry rot treatments with guarantees, ensuring the property is ready for re-development. Within the original building the accommodation is spread over three storeys and a mezzanine level, extending to 632 sqm (6,803 sqft) in total. There is also an extension.

Substantial garden grounds of approximately 0.68 acres include mature trees, a driveway and ample space for a number of cars to park.
