Pitmurchie House Nursing Home, Torphins, Banchory, Aberdeenshire AB31

Former Nursing Home

This exciting redevelopment opportunity, the former nursing home, Pitmurchie House, is situated in rural location, approximately one and a half miles outside the Aberdeenshire village of Torphins being seven miles north-west of Banchory.

Dating back over 100 years, with extensions added in the 1990s, the building extends to approximately 1,178 sq. Metres over two floors, and sits within a substantial 4.23 acre plot.

The nursing home ceased trading and became vacant in 2020, but previously offered 31 bedrooms, the majority of which had en-suite facilities, and also offers communal areas, commercial kitchen, laundry and biomass boiler. Additionally, a separate garage building is within the grounds, with lapsed planning permission for a two bedroom flat above the garage and for an additional seven self contained flats and 19 single en-suite bedrooms under Aberdeenshire Planning Ref. App/2017/3048.

The scale of the existing building and grounds, allied with competitive guide price, offers massive potential for residential redevelopment, conversion or alternative commercial use, subject to planning permission.

This is sure to attract strong demand from a variety of investors and developers, and early expression of interest is essential.

Torphins is a well-regarded village within Aberdeenshire, positioned in the scenic Royal Deeside corridor and within commuting distance of Aberdeen. The area is known for its attractive countryside setting while still offering access to local amenities and transport links.
