The Hotel is a historic Grade II listed town house rebuilt in 1769 incorporating an earlier building. Located near the center of the beautiful & attractive country market town of Kendal, known as the gateway to the lakes, the hotel enjoys a superb position with its own private car park, (a rarity in Kendal) & is ideally situated within walking distance of all local amenities including the main shopping areas of Kendal, fine restaurants, an array of local & characterful public houses, theatre, cinema & entertainment venues in addition to the popular and tourist drawing walks. The hotel is also a superb base for discovering & visiting the superb countryside of the Lake District & Yorkshire Dales National Parks as well as the little known beautiful wooded limestone country of the nearby coast. Historic Kendal can be accessed via the M6 motorway network with the main junction only a short 9 mile drive away which provides good access to Lancaster, Preston, Manchester, Liverpool and beyond to Birmingham in the South & Penrith and Carlisle to the North. Kendal is also about to embark on major new development to the town with around £100million being invested. This will surely attract even further visitors to the area and the hotel is ideally placed to capitalise from this.Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer to the market this historic and notable 10 bedroom hotel which offers a superb opportunity for new owners. Our clients have taken a more leisurely approach to the business & indeed only open for part of the year despite there being potential for 52 weeks trade. Additionally they also choose not to open on Sundays, which is prime for trade and would undoubtedly further increase the trade of this already successful concern. Our clients are extremely reluctant to sell, and the business has now been placed on the market due to family reasons. They have already built up trade substantially during their ownership, and freely admit that there is still huge potential for growth for hands on owner/operators who can give 100% commitment & enthusiasm to building trade on a year round basis. Many guests already return year on year because of the hotels unique character and its superb position in the town. Additionally, its location means the business enjoys a great deal of passing trade both in and out of season, which is further enhanced by the parking facilities and the fact that all the local amenities are within easy walking distance. The business already enjoys an excellent turnover of circa. £84,000.00 (based on 43 weeks trade) with a gross profit margin of around 95%. There is also the potential of a tearoom/cafe/bistro to the rear of the building to take advantage of position just off the main street in a quiet patio area which is a suntrap during the summer months. This could be achieved with a minimum amount of investment which would bear fruit almost immediately upon opening. The potential new owners can also look forward to enjoying extensive superb living accommodation within the hotel & because of location this is a truly magnificent opportunity to those seeking a true lifestyle change in one of the most beautiful parts of the British Isles.
