Torridon Stores & Café with Flat

This striking architect designed detached property offers a unique blend of commercial and residential use. The property, initially single storey, was thoughtfully expanded to add a second floor nearly 20 years ago. Featuring a timber exterior with dormer windows, Velux skylights, and distinctive front bay windows, all finished in natural harling with green fascias and timber detailing, the property combines traditional charm with modern efficiency, further enhanced by a slate roof and solar panels. The ground floor houses a thriving café and general store, whilst a delightful private flat above provides versatile living or letting options. Off-road parking is available to the front, with additional nearby spaces, offering convenience for customers, residents, and staff alike. The ground floor extends to approximately 124 m², with the flat above measuring around 140 m².

The property occupies a prominent position in the picturesque village of Torridon on Scotland’s west coast, an area renowned for its dramatic scenery, outdoor pursuits, and strong tourist appeal. Torridon serves as a gateway to some of the region’s most popular walking, climbing, and wildlife destinations, attracting visitors throughout the year. The village benefits from a loyal local community and a steady stream of tourists, providing a strong and sustainable customer base for the business. Local amenities include Shieldaig Primary School and Gairloch High School, while the community is supported by the village hall, youth hostel, and community centre with gym facilities, as well as visiting services including a post office and butcher. Torridon is a vibrant and active community, with groups and activities ranging from wild swimming to whist nights, and the area’s unique geology and natural attractions continue to draw visitors from across Scotland and beyond. Despite its remote location, the village is well-connected, with road links via the A832 and A896 providing access to nearby towns such as Gairloch, Ullapool, and broader transport connections to Inverness and the wider Scottish road network.
