Full Description: <p><strong>9B MARKET SQUARE, STONEHAVEN — A TURNKEY AIRBNB INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY</strong></p><p>A rare chance to acquire not just a beautifully appointed apartment but a fully operational and profitable holiday-let business in one of Scotland's most sought-after coastal towns. This stunning first-floor flat occupies part of a handsome period building on Market Square — a property with genuine historical pedigree, having once been owned, between 1822 and 1873, by Robert William Thomson, the Scottish inventor of the pneumatic tyre, a connection marked by a commemorative plaque above the doorway.</p><p>Sympathetically refurbished throughout, the flat combines the character of the original building — soaring ceilings, ornate cornicing, ceiling roses and sash windows with fitted plantation shutters — with a stylish, contemporary interior finished to a high specification, including a sleek IKEA kitchen, a striking monochrome shower room, and beautifully presented bedroom accommodation.</p><p><strong>This property is offered for sale exclusively as a fully operational Airbnb business and is not available to purchase as a standalone residential flat.</strong> The sale includes the entire operational Airbnb, sold complete with virtually all furniture, fixtures and fittings — every item of crockery, all bedding, towels and household equipment is included, meaning a new owner can step in and start generating income from day one. The business also comes with a strong pipeline of forward bookings already secured, including bookings in September, October, five nights over Hogmanay, and three nights next March — representing genuine, guaranteed revenue from the moment of completion, with clear scope to grow bookings further.</p><p><strong>The total price is offers over £124,000, structured as offers over £99,000 for the heritable property and a fixed £25,000 for the business goodwill, furniture, fixtures, fittings and forward bookings.</strong></p><p>The location is a major part of the appeal. Stonehaven is consistently ranked among Scotland's best coastal towns and has been repeatedly highlighted by consumer surveys and travel guides as one of the country's top budget-friendly beach destinations, with Which? among those praising its excellent value, with average stays around £90 a night. The town's beach holds a Scotland Beach Award for cleanliness and management and is home to the iconic Art Deco Stonehaven Open Air Pool — a heated, Olympic-sized seawater lido right on the coast is one of the town's best-loved attractions. Just outside the town, the dramatic clifftop ruins of Dunnottar Castle offer one of Scotland's most photographed views, while Stonehaven's historic harbour, with its colourful fishing boats and fresh local seafood, adds to the town's charm — along with popular spots such as The Tolbooth Restaurant and traditional pubs.</p><p>For an investor or owner-occupier alike, 9B Market Square offers a rare combination: a genuinely lovely place to live or stay, an established and profitable short-term letting business, and a location with enduring, proven appeal to visitors year-round.</p>
