A popular Angus pub and guest house is on sale for offers over £325,000.

South Esk Inn, on Wharf Street overlooking Montrose Harbour, is put up for sale as the current owners plan to retire.

The pub, known as The Soothie, is a traditional public house arranged over the ground floor within a traditional stone-built category C listed property.

The sale also includes the owners’ first floor flat, several guest rooms and an additional residential granny flat annexe to the rear.

The property is being marketed by Shepherd Chartered Surveyors.

Shepherd’s Dundee senior commercial surveyor Gavin Russell said: “Our clients have owned and operated the business for six years and are reluctantly selling due to their planned retirement.

“They have an experienced team running the bar.

“There is great potential to grow not only this side of the business, but also the guest lettings business.

“The property has received significant investment over the years and would not require any immediate capital expenditure to grow the business further.”

Montrose pub for sale includes hot tub

The owners’ accommodation includes a large modern kitchen and dining area, bathroom and master bedroom to the rear.

The rear of the property formerly comprised a workshop and store which has been extensively refurbished to form a bright and modern residential annexe comprising lounge and kitchen, double bedroom, modern bathroom and store.

Included within the sale, the letting accommodation to the upper floors is operated by the owners separately from the public house.

This accommodation currently comprises a two-bed flat with private bathroom along with two bedsit units arranged over first and attic floors.

The sale also includes a large garden to the rear complete with off street parking, garden sheds, seating areas and a hot tub.

Mr Russell said there may also be opportunities for the new owners to explore.

He said: “The room bookings currently operate at around 95% occupancy when open, with most guests booking through AirBnB.

“The owners have built up an excellent reputation over the years and boast outstanding reviews as a superhost on AirBnB.

“This is an excellent opportunity perhaps for a similar couple, or someone looking for a change of career with a ready-made business generating impressive income and profit levels.

“The owners accommodation is extremely flexible and further income could be easily generated through offering additional letting rooms.”
