A luxurious 7 bedroom guest house for sale

A luxurious boutique guesthouse featuring 7 x bedrooms plus 1 x letting apartment, car park and separate 3 x bedroom owners’ accommodation within a contemporary extension with its own gardens and entrance.  This beautiful detached Victorian building comes with an enviable reputation, beautiful guest reception rooms and surrounded by lovely gardens. Having undergone a rolling refurbishment programme and now presented to an exceptionally high turn-key standard, it trades highly successfully, comparable to a businesses with twice as many rooms. The business operates efficiently without the need for staff and provides the owners with an impressive income which affords them an enviable lifestyle. Early viewings are highly recommended.

Court Prior is only minutes’ walk from beach, harbour and town centre, but also a short distance from train and bus stations. Torquay is one of the UK’s most popular holiday destinations, with a good all-year round trade. It is only a short distance from the marine town of Dartmouth and equal distance to the cities of Plymouth and the cathedral city of Exeter with its international airport and M5 motorway. Also within a short walk is the main shopping precinct, Princess Theatre and the Riviera Convention Centre.

The business has been awarded 5-star rating with the AA and benefits from high repeat custom and a fantastic marketing strategy with excellent trip advisor feedback. All of which has provided the owners with an impressive income and subsequent net profit, which compares to a guest house twice its size. Benefitting from ‘7 x boutique standard rooms’ and 1 x letting apartment but trading many times with deliberately reduced occupancy over a period of approx. 7/8 months per annum due to lifestyle choice. With double glazing throughout, the refit of these premises has been cleverly thought-out to minimise maintenance / costs. We the agents, strongly feel that the business turnover could easily be increased by simply opening all the rooms all year round and offering additional services such as evening meals or even a guest bar. Actual trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
