A rare freehold opportunity: Hensleigh House is a freshly refurbished 12-bedroom guest house on the Jurassic Coast, trading successfully with circa £200,000 annual turnover. The property has been finished to a boutique, high-quality standard and includes a fully fitted commercial kitchen, licensed dining room (20 covers), and a laundry room — ready for continued trading from day one.
The layout includes a separate owner’s accommodation with private garden and office, plus twelve guest rooms (including accessible ground-floor twin and two family suites) all with en suites. Off-street asphalt parking and a low-maintenance planted exterior suit the operational demands of a hospitality business in a popular coastal village.
There are clear growth levers for a new owner: evening dining is underutilised, marketing and direct-booking channels could be extended, and the strong repeat-customer base supports further revenue uplift. Rateable value is £10,750; sale price £1,000,000 for the freehold interest and trading goodwill.
Notes and constraints: broadband speeds are average and the local demographic skews towards an ageing rural population — factors to consider for online marketing and staffing. The business requires ongoing operational management and staffing to maintain the current service levels and turnover.
