Summary - ELLESMERE HOTEL HIGH STREET ELLESMERE SY12 0ES
1 bed 1 bath Hotel
Large freehold hotel with 20 rooms and strong turnover; scope to grow income.
Grade II listed Georgian hotel with historic character
A substantial, long-established hotel occupying a prominent High Street position in Ellesmere, offered freehold with vacant possession. The property includes a large ground-floor bar and restaurant (seating for c.80), commercial kitchen, cellarage, external seating and approximately eight off-street car parking spaces. Upper floors provide 20 ensuite letting rooms plus proprietors’ accommodation. The business traded to a turnover of c.£425,000 for the year to April 2024 and is free of tie, presenting an investor-friendly income stream.
The building is part three-, part two- and part single-storey Grade II listed Georgian property with two basement areas and a gross internal area of about 1,314 m² (14,145 ft²). Services include gas central heating and three-phase electricity. The business currently trades limited hours but holds a licence to 2am, giving clear scope to extend opening hours, increase wet/dry sales and intensify room occupancy to boost revenue.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing will impose planning and alteration constraints and may complicate refurbishment or expansion works. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, which could affect modern guest expectations; mobile signal is excellent. Parking is limited to around eight spaces (though the property backs onto a public car park), and despite ongoing improvements further maintenance or sympathetic listed-goods works may be required.
This opportunity suits an investor or operator seeking an established trading hotel in a tourist-friendly market adjacent to The Mere and countryside walks. The property’s scale, licence flexibility, free-of-tie status and proven trading history create significant upside for a purchaser prepared to work within listed-building controls and to invest in marketing, extended hours and digital connectivity.
