**Description**
No. 66 High Street, Alness is a terraced trading unit within an attractive
traditional stone property. The unit is in the final stages of being
renovated, with a view of maintaining the existing trading model of a
café/restaurant. The renovations are of an excellent standard and must be
viewed to be fully appreciated. No. 66 is a single storey building with an
attic accessed via a ladder through a roof hatch. The unit is currently vacant
and therefore available for immediate occupation.
This unit has independent street level access to the front and well renovated
internal trading aspects. The unit also benefits from well - appointed
preparation and storage areas located to the rear.
**Reason for lease**
The unit traded as a café/restaurant in the past, but since its vacation has
been upgraded and renovated and is now available for re - let.
**Location**
The Town of Alness is set immediately adjacent to the busy A9; the arterial
route from Inverness to Thurso. The units are conveniently located, with some
on street parking and located close to the local public car park. Nearby there
is a good range of shops and offices etc. Alness is well served with
facilities and services for visitors and residents alike. A central
café/restaurant would do well in this location.
The recent creation of the Inverness and Cromarty Green Freeport along with
future new housing developments in the town will benefit all businesses in the
region, making now the time to start a new business in the area. The town is
centrally located for exploring the wider Highland area, taking in its many
attractions. Inverness, Culloden Battlefield and Loch Ness are all within a
day - trip distance. Outdoor pursuits such as bird watching and fishing also
draw a great many visitors to the region who take advantage of the abundance
of wildlife. Within the Cromarty Firth seals are readily observed and, in the
Moray Firth, dolphins are a great attraction. For the dedicated golfer there
are a number of outstanding quality golf courses within the immediate area,
the most famous being Royal Dornoch. Castles. Potteries and distilleries offer
the more leisurely tourist ample places of culture, interest and history to
visit. Alness enjoys a very good geographic location and is an ideal base from
which visitors can continue their exploration of Sutherland, Caithness and the
West Coast.
