The dwelling comprises a large two storey former mansion house of stone and slated construction. The property was utilised as a hospital from the mid 50s until the mid 90s and thereafter a private residence. Dunain House was originally constructed in the mid 18th Century and was originally the House of Bailie of Dunain. The building is of architectural interest and is ‘B’ listed. The property has been unoccupied for the last few years but the current owners have undertaken an ongoing care and maintenance programme including repairs ensuring the structural integrity of the building has been maintained in a good state.
The property offers an opportunity to be re-developed as a large private residence but also has potential for other uses such as a Hotel. The property has Planning Consent which was granted at 26 December 2008 (08/00530/FULIN) for renovation and sub-division to form 9 self-contained flats.
Dunain House offers a unique opportunity for an extensive residential development and an opportunity to complete a high quality residential development within a historic period building. Full floor plans in connection with the Planning Consent have been prepared and this can be made available to genuinely interested parties. Dunain House also continues to have potential for conversion to a large single private residence or other alternative uses such as hotel/leisure subject to Planning Consents.
Dunain House occupies an elevated site close to Inverness and on the western outskirts of the City. The property has an attractive elevated location set within mature woodland with good views to the south east over the surrounding countryside. It benefits from easy access to Inverness which is approximately 2 miles distant with a good range of facilities.
The property occupies a large site which we calculate extends to approximately 5.0 acres or thereby. Grounds are laid out to grass with mature trees and incorporate a tarmacadam surface drive leading from the public road with extensive parking/turning area to the front of the property.
