A historic Aberdeenshire coaching inn with its own micro-brewery has hit the market for just under £400,000.
The New Inn is located in the small hamlet of Aberchirder and is the main hub for the local community.
It dates back to the 18th Century and has been lovingly restored and updated by the current owner over the past 14 years.
Now, however, the owner wishes to retire, and the business has been listed with ASG Commercial for £399,000.
One standout feature of this property is the recently built micro-brewery on site, branded Foggieloan, after the village’s nickname.
It was established in 2024.
The business benefits from both passing trade and a strong stream of regulars and is featured in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide.
Daily operations are also managed by the two owners without need for additional staff.
On entry there is the public bar with a wide range of beers, spirits and alcohol, including their own brand.
The bar is uniquely decorated with plaques on the wall and a mosaic of beer mats on the ceiling, giving the space a cosy and eclectic feel.
New Inn and micro-brewery for sale
Opposite the bar is the office, and further back the commercial kitchen which has built a good reputation for food.
Behind the bar is the cellar, as well as the male and female toilet facilities.
There is also a large function hall, with bar area and stage, which opens out to the sizeable beer garden.
The micro-brewery is located at the back of the building.
To the side of the property, through a private door, is the owner’s accommodation which has a downstairs lounge, with stairs up to the three bedrooms and shower room.
There is a separating door, which leads to two further rooms which could be used as en suite letting rooms for guests.
The exterior of the inn befits its history, with a traditional stone brick facade that is eye-catching while passing through the main street of Aberchirder.
The village is 12 miles from Huntly and 46 miles from Aberdeen.
