Set in the centre of Stramshall village, Olive Tree Guest House is a substantial Victorian former guest house offering a turnkey hospitality business or conversion potential. At c.3,500 sq ft across generous reception rooms, eight guest suites and owners’ accommodation, the property delivers immediate trading capability with commercial kitchen equipment included and an active alcohol licence. Off-street parking, a detached garage and a decent garden add practical appeal for guests and staff.
The current layout supports a successful bed & breakfast operation: multiple public rooms (dining room, lounge, bar area), en-suite guest rooms and a self-contained owners’ apartment. Historic trading shows steady income and low overheads via Small Business Rate Relief, making this attractive to investors or experienced hoteliers seeking a ready-made enterprise with scope to increase yield through food or events trade.
Prospective buyers should note planning or licensing changes would be required for major repurposing; any conversion to extended commercial use or full residential redevelopment will need consents. Internally the property is well maintained externally, but some areas may benefit from modernisation to boost margins and guest rates. Mobile signal is average although broadband speeds are fast, helpful for online bookings and remote working guests.
In summary, Olive Tree Guest House suits buyers wanting an established rural hospitality business in an affluent, low-crime village setting, or those seeking a large period property with multiple reuse options subject to consents and selective investment.
