Sanachan Bunkhouse is offered as a freehold sale of assets and goodwill in a high‑traffic tourist corridor (NC500). The business combines an 1880 stone house and a brand‑new timber lodge, recently upgraded to increase capacity to 16 beds, presenting an immediate trading uplift for a new owner. The sale includes owners’ accommodation, guest dining and kitchen facilities, and a large roughly 0.5‑acre plot with strong development potential.
The property has clear operational advantages: prominent roadside position on a popular route, established online visibility and listings, and mixed‑use buildings heated by an LPG boiler (original house) and an air‑source heat pump (new building). The timber building has been signed off by building control but the completion certificate submission is still in progress. The grounds are easy to maintain, include parking and a private driveway, and offer scope to extend parking or bed numbers subject to consents.
Buyers should note material constraints honestly. Broadband is slow and mobile signal only average, which may affect modern guest expectations. The older stone house is single glazed and uses LPG heating; maintenance or retrofit costs should be budgeted. The advertised price is offers over £265,000 and the sale is in a very remote, materially deprived area — seasonality and local staffing may affect year‑round turnover. Prospective purchasers should verify planning and licensing for any expansion or ancillary activities.
For an investor or operator experienced in rural hospitality, Sanachan provides an immediate trading platform with clear upside from the new lodge, incremental bed increases, and on‑site activity opportunities (bike/canoe hire, guided tours). The property suits someone wanting an established seasonal business with scope to enhance facilities and digital offering.
