Former Forbes Arms Hotel

Once the place to be seen, the former Forbes Arms Hotel in the coastal village of Rosehearty, five miles along the coast from Fraserburgh, is new to auction. The former hotspot in the village once comprised public bar, lounge bar, dance hall and upstairs restaurant and bedrooms, but the passing years and harsh elements have seen the building fall into serious disrepair, and a return to its heyday now seems unviable. The central location in the village, allied with the generous footprint and competitive Guide Price, is most likely to be attractive for an investor/developer to clear the site and, subject to the required approvals, create new residential dwelling(s). Early expression of interest is recommended. ** Note To Prospective Purchasers – Aberdeenshire Council have recently issued a Dangerous Building Notice which can be made available to interested parties. Buyers should undertake additional due diligence in this regard. ** The building is not safe for public viewings.
