A rare, trading town-centre hotel opportunity in Pickering, offered with a new lease and a strong recent turnover of circa £1,100,000 (net). The Grade II listed Georgian building combines high ceilings, sash windows and a handsome stone façade with established bar, lounge, restaurant and flexible function spaces that suit weddings and events. Its location on the edge of the North York Moors delivers reliable tourist demand alongside local business and community custom.
The property comprises 22 letting bedrooms and multiple public areas, all operated under family management until the current retirement-motivated sale. The business benefits from diverse revenue streams and a well-regarded local reputation — attractive to buyers who can step into an operating concern. Connectivity is excellent with fast broadband and strong mobile signal, and the immediate area is very affluent with good local amenities and schools.
Important practical points: the hotel is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance and expansion plans. The sale is of the leasehold interest (new lease to be granted) and tenure details should be confirmed. The listing information records only one bathroom — this should be checked against the actual accommodation schedule. Buyers should allow for listed-building maintenance and compliance costs when budgeting.
This opportunity suits investors or operators seeking an established, event-capable small hotel in a strong tourist location. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a blank‑canvas redevelopment or unrestricted structural change due to the listed status and leasehold nature of the offer.
