IMPRESSIVE FREEHOLD GUEST HOUSE/HOTEL NORWICH, NORFOLK

Arrandale Lodge is an established eight-bedroom guest house occupying substantial premises in Norwich's NR4 district. Its individually styled accommodation includes en-suite double, twin, triple and quadruple rooms, allowing the business to welcome couples, families and small groups with differing requirements.

The property lies south-west of Norwich city centre, within convenient reach of both the University of East Anglia and Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital. This position broadens its appeal across the leisure, education and healthcare markets, while the combination of an operational hospitality business, sizeable premises and several possible future uses presents buyers with considerable flexibility.


BUSINESS:

Open seven days a week, Arrandale Lodge is currently operated by the owner. The business does not serve meals, which keeps food preparation and stock requirements to a minimum, although guests are provided with tea, coffee and biscuits. A separate dining room and professionally fitted kitchen are already in place, allowing a new owner to explore the introduction of a food service if desired and subject to any applicable requirements.

The individually appointed bedrooms offer a range of sleeping arrangements, including king-size and twin configurations, together with space for seating or working. Smart televisions and tea and coffee-making facilities are provided, while the private bathrooms include several modern en-suite facilities. Among the more distinctive features are a room with a balcony overlooking the garden and two bedrooms furnished with four-poster beds.

A dedicated office, generous storage and a separate laundry provide the practical back-of-house space required for day-to-day operations. All linen is laundered on the premises, helping to maintain control over costs and turnaround times, while guests also benefit from free Wi-Fi, daily housekeeping and private on-site parking. Given its proximity to major education and healthcare facilities, there is scope to develop the business-traveller market further.

The owner is selling to pursue plans to travel, and the transaction includes the goodwill of the business together with its fixtures, fittings and equipment.


PREMISES:

The property is being marketed on a freehold basis and has been maintained to a high standard. Its generous proportions, understated decorative finishes and considered layout create a comfortable setting for guests while supporting the practical requirements of the business.

On the ground floor, a spacious entrance hall leads into the principal residents' lounge, where high ceilings and large windows give the room an open, naturally bright character. The adjoining dining room provides a versatile communal area and connects with a substantial kitchen offering extensive cabinetry, integrated appliances and ample preparation space. Modern heating and lighting systems are fitted throughout the property.

The guest bedrooms are arranged across the lower and upper floors, giving each room an individual character while maintaining a clear separation from the principal communal areas below. The premises also include the office, storage and laundry facilities required to support the accommodation operation, as well as private parking within the grounds.

Road access is available via the A11 and A47, with local bus services providing connections into Norwich city centre. Norwich railway station offers direct services to London Liverpool Street, while shops, pharmacies, public houses and the open spaces of Eaton Park are also within the surrounding area.

Further potential exists to increase the number of guest bedrooms from eight to 10 or 11. The land may also accommodate a bungalow, subject to planning permission. Other possibilities identified for the property include supported living, student accommodation or HMO use, serviced apartments with kitchenettes, a cultural hospitality concept or a return to residential use. Any change of use or development would require the appropriate planning and regulatory approvals.


ACCOMMODATION:

A dedicated owner's room can be included if required, giving an incoming proprietor the convenience of living on site. This arrangement may be particularly suitable for a hands-on operator or a family wishing to relocate while taking over the business.
