Summary - THE OLD TOLLGATE, THE STREET BN44 3WE
1 bed 1 bath Hotel
Large freehold site with planning and conversion upside for investors or operators.
30 ensuite bedrooms and suites with lift access to all floors
A substantial Tudor‑style hotel on the edge of the South Downs National Park, offering 30 ensuite bedrooms, extensive dining space and large grounds with generous parking. The site includes approved planning permission for ten additional units and a conservatory extension, plus lift access and a basement with clear conversion potential for wellness or leisure facilities. Fixtures, fittings and equipment are included in the sale, and a five‑bed staff/semi‑detached house is part of the package.
This property suits investor or operator buyers seeking a turn‑key hospitality asset with immediate trading capacity and clear development upside. Historic trading showed strong pre‑pandemic occupancy and profitability (unaudited 2019 occupancy c.85%, turnover c.£1.7m, adjusted EBITDA c.£256k), but recent trading figures are not provided and should be independently verified.
Opportunities include reinstating the carvery/restaurant offer, adding spa or leisure amenities in the basement, building the approved additional units, or converting parts of the existing hotel into flats for longer‑term rental. The C1 use class and approved planning permission materially de‑risk development, but implementation will require capital and planning compliance.
Material considerations: the building is period in character and will require ongoing maintenance and likely refurbishment to meet contemporary guest expectations. Business rates are significant (current rateable value £93,000). Buyers should budget for works, confirm current trading performance, and allow time and cost for delivering permitted development or alternative schemes.
