With renovation set to begin soon on Andy Murray $2.8-million Scottish property purchaser just outside his hometown of Dunblane, one of the first items to receive attention from the builders will be the tennis court already in place at historic Cromlix House.

The plan is to renovate the estate into a 15-room luxury hotel in time for autumn Ryder Cup play in the area in 2014. As such, there is little time to lose. And world No. 3 Murray is said to be ready to consult on major decision concerning his pet project.

The management company which will handle day-to-day duties is already starting to work. “We already have a tennis court but we are changing its location because there are a lot of trees in that area and leaves are a problem,” said official Norbert Lieder.

“This will be a straightforward refurbishment with no major layout changes. There will be small changes to the entrance and we are increasing the number of car parking places and creating a larger restaurant.

“The tennis court is for our guests. I don’t know if Andy will be using it.”

Once complete, the hotel could create around 40 jobs, according to local estimates, no small feat in the north of Scotland. And officials say that inquiries about the new facility are already popping up from locals with opening day set for next April 1.

The hotel has already had a relatively recent minor celebrity moment, when Murray’s doubles-playing elder brother James married Alejandra Gutierrez at the venue in 2010. The Cromlix had once been a five-star establishment before closing in tough economic times more than a year ago.
