Full Details for 7 Bedroom Detached for sale in Elgin, IV30 :

Parrandier, The Old Church of Urquhart is a church conversion, tastefully redesigned to provide comfortable accommodation on two floors with a special ambience throughout.

The church building dates back to 1843 and is a B-listed building. The bell tower still has the original bell produced in Whitechapel, London. Still in use, it is now connected to a clock and sounds automatically . . . or, if you wish, you still can ring it the old-fashioned way with the rope!

Parrandier has been running since 1998 as a very successful 4-star B & B business with an additional self-catering apartment, featured on TV in UK and abroad and mentioned in many guides like Dumont and Unusual Hotel of the World.
Evening meals are also offered and the business benefits from both an alcohol license and a wedding license.

The accommodation (with further potential) consists briefly of;

Entrance vestibule

Lounge and 'gallery' dining area

Second lounge 'Bar' style

Main kitchen / breakfast room

Seven bedrooms in total - three with en suite

Two further bathrooms

Third lounge - part of the integral flat with open archway to the second kitchen

The property is set in grounds of two acres or thereby.
The garden has many special features including a pond and a little waterfall.

This beautiful converted church is situated in a superb rural location amidst farmland and forests in an area best described as "Malt Whisky Country". Set just half a mile from the village of Urquhart it enjoys open, uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside.

The church is approximately five miles to the east of the county town of Elgin (Scotlands smallest and friendliest city) and is close to both the Grampian Highlands and to the white sandy beaches and dunes of the Moray Firth where dolphins are frequently spotted.
