Turnkey B&B with strong reviews and high occupancy near attractions.
Freehold Victorian guesthouse on approx. 1.4 acres
A substantial Victorian guesthouse offered freehold on approximately 1.4 acres, currently trading with strong historic occupancy (75–85%) and excellent guest reviews. The operation includes six principal guest bedrooms (four en-suite), two further private bathrooms, a separate owner/management flat with living accommodation, a well-equipped commercial kitchen, lounge and large dining room seating 25–30.
This property suits an investor or operator seeking a turn-key hospitality business with immediate trading potential. Recent decorative upgrades retain period features such as stained glass, tiled floors and high ceilings while the grounds provide scope for outdoor events or additional guest facilities. Trading runs 46 weeks per year and confirmed reservations for 2026 indicate continuing demand.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the surrounding area is classified as very deprived with a very high local crime rate, and part of the building is older construction (1930s–1940s) with assumed no cavity wall insulation. The flat has an EPC D and the guesthouse EPC C. Further investment may be needed for energy upgrades, potential structural or compliance works, and to obtain licences (for example an alcohol licence if adding a bar).
Financial information and historic profit-and-loss figures can be supplied to serious buyers via accountants or bank managers. This is a clear opportunity to acquire an established business with substantial grounds, strong customer feedback and multiple avenues for growth through extended catering, events or increased management input.
