Summary - THE BLACKSMITHS COTTAGE MAIN ROAD GANTON SCARBOROUGH YO12 4NX
20 bed 1 bath Guest House
Profitable guest house with event potential on a busy A64 route.
17 letting bedrooms including 3 family rooms
A rare opportunity to acquire a historic 17th‑century coaching inn on the A64, trading as a 17‑bedroom guest house with proven profitability. The property occupies two buildings around a central courtyard and benefits from large outdoor space, owner/manager accommodation and ample parking — features that support weddings, events and increased trading hours. Its location suits passing A64 traffic, Ganton Golf Club visitors and coastal/countryside tourists.
Financially the business is strong: part‑time operation currently produces reported adjusted net profits in excess of £211,000 per year, with turnover around £400,000 and a healthy gross margin. There is clear scope to grow income by extending opening hours, developing functions and weddings, and introducing marketing or package breaks to boost off‑peak trade.
Buyers should note several practical points from the data: the listing records the site as freehold with electric storage heating and post‑2002 double glazing, but it also shows a small overall size and an unusually low formal bathroom count in the supplied fields. Construction is solid brick with assumed no wall insulation. These anomalies — and the fabric, services and measured floor area — should be verified in person and by survey.
This property will suit an investor or experienced operator who can scale hours and events, or a hospitality couple looking for an established business with immediate takings. It combines strong trading history and characterful accommodation with measurable renovation, operational and confirmation tasks to unlock further value.
