Dufftown Retail for Sale

Attractive retail unit extending to around 92m² in the centre of Dufftown. 11 Fife Street is the ground floor area of an attractive traditional stone multi-storey townhouse, under a slate roof. The entrance to No 11 is around 50m from the famous Dufftown clock tower located in the village square. 11 Fife Street is a flexible ground floor trading unit within the property, previously occupied by an award-winning butcher. This unit extends to the rear where the preparation of fresh meat and cooked meat products occurred and is built using a mix of construction methods. The butcher fitout is still in place, thus enabling regeneration of the original business should that be desired. At this point there is not another butcher in the village and one must travel a significant distance to find one of note. The machinery and tools of the previous business, though not included within the price, are available by separate negotiation. The unit is currently non trading so is being sold with vacant possession. The unit is ideally suited to trade as a retail unit and has a number of flexible spaces, extending to circa 92m². The business has beneficial access, for example to refuse removal, across the land belonging to The Whisky Capital Inn. There is a small amount of land to the rear of the property which is finished in concrete. There are a couple of connected outbuildings accessed from this land. These are of sound construction at the time of the survey. Reason For Sale The vendor has owned 11 Fife Street for many years and operated his own butcher’s business from it. The butcher’s shop has been closed for several years. It is the owner’s desire to finally retire completely that brings this well-appointed property to the market. Rates / Council Tax The retail property has a business Rateable Value of £4,300 reference number VR27755 (April 2023). The unit benefits from a 100% discount under the Small Business Bonus Scheme with a potential net liability of £zero for eligible businesses.
