Run as a successful guesthouse, The Kemps is an immaculate two-storey villa within a few minutes' walking distance of the City Centre and the Caledonian Canal. Constructed in 1930, this fabulous 212 m2 property is a charming and sensitively modernised house that offers the potential of a successful business, combined with attractive and comfortable private accommodation for the owners. It also has scope as a generously sized home for a large or extended family should this be preferred.

The Kemps is a short walk from the River Ness and directly opposite The Ledge climbing gym which attracts visitors from all over Scotland. The guesthouse has many high-rated reviews that mention its excellent location and quiet rooms.

A tidy front garden laid with lawn is enclosed by walls, with parking available to the side of the house. Entry is via a sizeable, white-painted hallway that gives access to four en-suite bedrooms and a dining room currently used for guest accommodation.

At the front of the house is the first bedroom, which is a cheerful and welcoming pink and white space that provides comfortable double accommodation; its en-suite has white sanitaryware and shimmering black panels in the integrated shower enclosure. Also at the front of the house is a sunny yellow double bedroom that has a sliding barn door leading to the pale grey en-suite shower room with white vanity units and sanitaryware.

Two further guest rooms overlook the garden; a large room with a papered feature wall provides space for a double and a single bed, as well as a table; the en-suite has grey walls and vanity unit, and white sanitaryware. The final guest room is papered with pink and white with grey joinery with a barn door opening to a white en-suite shower room.
A tartan-carpeted dining-breakfast room is partly lined with grey-painted tongue-and-groove panelling. The ground floor also contains a bathroom with white sanitaryware.

The generously sized, mostly tiled kitchen is fitted with pale wood wall and floor cabinets with a dark worktop. Arranged in a U-shape, the kitchen provides plenty of storage and good expanses of preparation area. A large utility room houses the services and provides convenient space for laundry and storage purposes.

A dog-leg staircase leads to the first floor which is currently for the exclusive use of the owners. A short flight of wide steps leads to a private sitting room, finished in warm grey and papered with a botanical print. This room has coombed ceilings and space for a dining table.
Three bedrooms complete the private accommodation; two have built in wardrobe space, attractive slightly coombed ceilings, and pleasant views. The third has double-aspect skylights that create a delightful looking, light filled space.

A shared space sits between the living room and the third bedroom. This space is full of interesting corners and architectural details and could serve as a dressing room or study for one or both of the rooms that flank it.
The family shower room is finished with grey vanity cabinets with a white WC, inset wash hand basin and large shower enclosure.

The garden is fenced with timber and has a beautifully kept lawn that is edged with mature trees and shrubs. Patios are laid with flagstones, and a gate gives access to the garage, which also includes workshop space.

The Kemps is a beautifully kept property and a popular guesthouse. It has a fantastic reputation and has welcomed visitors from around the world. It offers the potential to continue as a successful business or could equally be returned to a substantial private property for an extended or growing family. Whatever the ambitions, this is an outstanding house and is expected to receive a great deal of early attention.
