The subject property occupies a fantastic and locally unopposed trading position affording magnificent views over unspoilt surrounding countryside in the picturesque village of Daviot, with its famous nearby Loanhead Neolithic Stone Circle visitor attraction, which lies between the main A920 to Oldmeldrum and the B9001 to nearby Inverurie, in a delightful rural area of Aberdeenshire with a high volume of year-round tourist activity.
Business Description
We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a potential high income producing home of uncommon quality and real further potential, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.
This very well established hostelry has become an important focal point of the local, close-knit community in the course of many successful years’ trading by providing all the extremely well fitted traditional free house licensed bar and games facilities associated with an establishment of this kind, and is locally renowned for its regularly changing fine, cask-conditioned real ales.
“The Smiddy Bar” is also a popular venue for regular live music entertainment evenings and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to employing its currently unused commercial catering facilities for the introduction of food trade and to operating considerably extended weekday hours in order to fully exploit year-round local demand.
The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already very respectable levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form in 1978, and we would strongly recommend the earliest possible viewing to avoid disappointment.

Property Description
“THE SMIDDY BAR”
These charming, substantial and extremely well maintained detached former blacksmith’s forge premises have been sympathetically converted and modernised over the years whilst retaining many attractive original features.
Fitted to superb industry specifications throughout, thanks to a recent and extensive programme of refurbishment undertaken at great expense, the premises provide outstanding and highly functional internal business accommodation with Wi-Fi internet access, which briefly comprises the main public entrance into a spacious and welcoming, open-plan public lounge bar with good mix of well maintained loose and fixed furnishings for approximately 60 covers, sports bar area with pool table, dart-board and gaming machines and a prominent, fully fitted free-of-tie licensed servery with full range of optics, draught and hand-pulled cask pumps, chilled bottle display cabinets, bottle and glass display and storage shelving and electronic till point etc.
The main bar area, in turn, affords private doorway access through to a spacious, fully fitted and equipped, though currently unused commercial catering kitchen with extraction system housing ample work surfaces, storage units, a fully equipped preparation/washing-up kitchen area and a full range of well maintained, industry standard appliances, which would afford excellent potential for the introduction of food trade in order to exploit year-round local demand.
The premises naturally also incorporate all the usual separate male and female washrooms/WC facilities for customers, with further ancillary accommodation consisting of a fully fitted and equipped trade beer cellar/bottle store with refrigerated barrel storeroom and separate delivery access.
The business premises also enjoy the benefit of mains gas and electricity power supplies, in addition to the added security benefit of a full alarm system.
Externally:
To the exterior the premises are well signed and presented and incorporate a good-sized private patrons’ car park and well maintained and furnished patio and lawned public beer gardens affording magnificent views over unspoilt surrounding countryside, together with a useful service yard area with separate access for deliveries.
THE PRIVATE RESIDENCE
This extensive freehold proposition also includes a delightful and equally well maintained detached TWO-STOREY residence providing a high standard of versatile living accommodation arranged over two floors, which we understand has also recently undergone a full programme of internal decoration.

Externally:
To the exterior the private residence is situated in its own well maintained grounds and gardens, with private off-road parking facilities and outbuildings consisting of a double garage.
