A Spacious Former Guest House in a Prime Location

This very attractively priced property is in a prominent location, in the sought after seaside resort of Torquay, Devon. Previously a highly successful guesthouse, boasting 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor and 10/10 rating on Hotels.com. It is currently operating as a home with income from long-term tenants with 6 rooms but can be sold with vacant possession if desired. Offering spacious owners’ accommodation, a well-maintained enclosed garden, and high-quality decor throughout, it also features a large car park accommodating 6-7 vehicles. This easily managed lifestyle business is truly one of a kind—early viewing is highly recommended.

LOCATION

Located on the popular Avenue Road with high volume of passing traffic, footfall, and being only a short walking distance from the seafront, harbour and town centre.  Conveniently situated for a short walk to the train station, or for access to the main arterial roads to Plymouth and Exeter.

BUSINESS

This guesthouse was successfully operated by the owner for several years but was scaled back due to health reasons and is now run as a home with income from long-term tenants. As agents, we believe there is significant potential to increase turnover by reopening as a guesthouse and actively marketing the business.
