House for sale - United Kingdom

The Location Coire Glas Guest House occupies an excellent trading position in Spean Bridge, an attractive Highland village situated at the southern end of the Great Glen, approximately 9 miles north of Fort William. The village is well placed for access to the A82 and A86, making it an ideal base for visitors travelling through Lochaber and the wider Highlands. Spean Bridge offers day-to-day amenities together with primary schooling at Spean Bridge Primary School, while Fort William provides a broader range of retail, leisure and professional services. The area is recognised as one of Scotland’s foremost outdoor tourism destinations, attracting a wide range of visitors throughout the year. Ben Nevis, Glen Nevis, Nevis Range and the Commando Memorial are all within easy reach, while the Great Glen Way brings a steady flow of walkers and touring visitors to the locality. The Property The property comprises a substantial and well-laid out 10-bedroom guest house arranged over ground and first floor levels. There are six en suite letting bedrooms on the ground floor and four further en suite bedrooms on the first floor, providing a flexible mix of twin, double and family accommodation suited to a broad range of guests. The layout is practical and efficient, with the letting rooms positioned separately from the principal public areas, supporting both guest comfort and ease of management. A particularly attractive feature is the large open guest dining room and lounge, which provides an inviting space for residents and enjoys fine views towards Ben Nevis. In addition, there is a good commercial-style kitchen which is well configured for the day-to-day running of the business. The owners’ accommodation is very well split from the guest areas and provides a comfortable private wing including three bedrooms, two generous private rooms and a bathroom. There is also scope for an additional en suite letting bedroom, currently used occasionally and in emergency situations, offering the potential to create an 11th letting room and enhance future income. The Business The business is owner operated and currently trades with the support of part-time ad hoc housekeeping assistance, creating a manageable operation for hands-on proprietors. The guest profile is driven mainly by walkers using the Great Glen Way together with tourists exploring Fort William, Ben Nevis and the surrounding Highland scenery. This is a well-established market, with Spean Bridge benefiting from its proximity to major visitor attractions and from demand generated by long-distance walking and general touring traffic. The business offers clear scope for further development, particularly through the reintroduction of bar sales and by extending the trading season. A purchaser may therefore have the opportunity to build on the existing trade and increase turnover by broadening the income base and maximising occupancy over a longer operating period. The Grounds Externally, the property is set within a substantial plot extending to approximately 0.8 acres and is accessed via a private road from the A86. The grounds provide an appealing setting for the business, with a large lawn to the front of the house and a generous car parking area located to the rear. Mature gardens surround the property and are enhanced by established trees and shrubs, creating a private and attractive environment consistent with the character of the wider Highland setting. This generous site adds materially to the overall appeal of the property as both a lifestyle and commercial opportunity. Want to know more?

A Rich and Remarkable History With a history spanning more than 450 years, the Manor House is a home of considerable historical importance. Originally known as Manor Farm and once owned by the Abbey of Warden, it later became the birthplace of Sir Augustine Nicolls in 1559, who went on to become Lord Keeper of the Great Seal under King James I and Chancellor to the future King Charles I. Beautifully remodelled by Henry Bagley in 1694, the original date stone remains proudly displayed today as a lasting reminder of the home's rich past.

Introduction Canonteign Manor is one of Devon’s most remarkable historic houses, set within around 10 acres in the beautiful Teign Valley. Grade I Listed and with origins reaching back centuries, it offers exceptional scale, character and presence, together with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. With its ancient stonework, mullion windows, granite fireplaces, grand reception spaces and wonderfully private grounds, it is a significant and atmospheric country property. Canonteign Manor was used as a private residential dwelling for many years prior to its change of use and, subject to the necessary planning consent, could once again make a wonderful home. Before arranging a viewing or making enquiries, interested parties should be aware of the current permitted use of the property, which is explained below. Planning Information Canonteign Manor is currently permitted for use as Sui Generis Holiday Let. The current owners obtained planning permission in 2019 to change the use of the property from C3 Residential Dwelling House to its present holiday let use. As such, buyers should be aware that the property is not currently permitted for unrestricted residential occupation as a C3 dwelling. Should a buyer wish to use Canonteign Manor as a private residential home, a change of use planning application would be required. By Design has contact with experienced planning consultants who are familiar with matters of this nature, and further guidance can be made available to interested parties should they require it. Buyers should make their own enquiries and take independent planning advice before proceeding. History A Domesday Manor, Canonteign was given to the canons of St Mary du Val in Normandy circa 1125 and later conveyed to the Prior and convent of Merton, in Surrey. After the Reformation it was granted to Lord John Russell and then passed through a series of owners. It was garrisoned for the King during the Civil War and taken by Fairfax in 1645. According to Lysons, it belonged to the Davy family in the 17th century. In 1812, Sir Edward Pellew, later Lord Viscount Exmouth, purchased the manor and it became a farm after 1828 when Exmouth built Canonteign House close by. It was restored by Lady Exmouth in the 1970s and, during recent years, the ancient house has been brought into the 21st century with extensive and sympathetic renovation. Today, Canonteign Manor is an extraordinary and beautifully maintained historic property, combining the character of its 400-year-old origins with the comfort and convenience of modern technology. It has been sympathetically cared for to ensure it continues to stand proudly for decades to come. Interior The real magic of Canonteign Manor is its generously proportioned and elegant rooms, which, although lit from mullion windows, are both tall and light. Most of the principal rooms have a focal point of a granite fireplace and enjoy spectacular views across the valley of the River Teign. From the main entrance, you step into the dining hall, an impressive space by anyone’s standards. With a stone floor, intricate wood panelling on the walls and beautiful stone mullion windows, it is a very special space indeed, with a substantial dining table which comfortably seats twenty guests. A large open fireplace provides a beautiful focal point. Moving through the dining hall, there is access into the cloakroom and rear entrance. There is also a staircase to the first floor. The kitchen has been very well designed to fill a large space without it feeling overwhelming. There is a large central island and plenty of storage. The AGA sits on one side of the room and the owner has added a large oven and hob to the other. Double doors open into the breakfast room, which has a grand fireplace with wood burner, creating another generous reception space. On the other side of the house, there is a spacious study, a snooker room and a formal sitting room. Each room has been decorated sympathetically in neutral tones to enhance the natural beauty of the building’s windows, stonework and period features. The main reception rooms are fitted with wood burners, creating inviting spaces in winter. The current owners have enhanced the property with LED lighting, refurbished bathrooms and carried out extensive work to the roof. There are two staircases which access the first floor, where you’ll find the bedrooms. The largest rooms are at either end of the house. The principal bedroom suite has been improved with the renovation of the ensuite to create a luxury space with high-quality fittings and finish. The principal bedroom is accessed via the dressing room, where there are numerous built-in wardrobes. The second and third bedrooms are also of a generous size and accommodate large four-poster beds. There are seven further bedrooms, all of which are bright, inviting spaces. They either have ensuite facilities or are very close to facilities. From the landing, a staircase takes you up to the second floor. The amount of space here is a real surprise, with exposed wooden beams, plenty of light and gorgeous elevated views across the grounds, valley and hills beyond. The main space here has previously been used as a comprehensive gymnasium but could suit a number of different uses, subject to any necessary consents. It leads into another substantial room which is set up as a games and TV room. It is large enough to create a cinema space if desired. Also on this floor are various store rooms, as well as a room with steam and sauna facilities and a further room currently set up as a massage/treatment room. The staff apartment, also on this floor, provides a generous living/dining room with lovely views, a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and double bedroom. Exterior The house stands in simply landscaped grounds which include large areas of lawn and a park-like field providing space for grazing if required. The grounds are approached through a pair of electrically operated tall gates opening onto the gravelled drive, which leads to a generous parking and turning area beside the house. There is a further garden space to the far side of the house. Steps lead down to the outdoor swimming pool and large level lawn. The pool is currently decommissioned and may require attention before being brought back into use. This remains a lovely, private and sheltered area of the grounds to enjoy the sunshine. The grounds stretch to around 10 acres in total and gently slope to the lower boundary. The boundary is made up of mature trees, giving excellent privacy in all directions. Canonteign Manor is one of the South West’s most significant ancient houses. Presented in good condition and situated in a spectacular yet convenient location, it offers a remarkable combination of history, scale, privacy and setting. Location The nearest village is Christow, which also overlooks the Teign Valley and is popular due to both its location and good range of community facilities, including pub, village school, shop, sports fields, doctor’s surgery and clubs. Bovey Tracey, the popular town on the edge of Dartmoor, is around 10 minutes’ drive away. You’ll find a range of amenities there, along with the popular Devon Guild of Craftsmen.
