Guest House 8 Letting Rooms In Folkestone Kent For Sale

Business description

Preferred Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this busy bed and breakfast business, which was established in 1972 and which has been in our clients' careful hands since 1995. The guest house is only now offered to the market due to our clients' wish to retire. The business trades all year round and generates a turnover in the region of £67,000 per annum with a gross profit of 85%. Granada Guest House offers 8-letting room, a breakfast menu and the occasional evening menu. We feel the turnover could be increased by establishing a website advertising accommodation and with online booking facilities. There is also the opportunity to embark on a modest marketing campaign and perhaps offer an evening menu all year round. The business enjoys regular repeat trade from tourists and contractors and has some long term guests. The premises have been well-maintained and are finished to a high standard throughout. There are two chalets equipped for letting accommodation, which could be utilised. The second floor was previously used for owners' accommodation and could easily be used as a 2-bedroom flat. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire an already busy bed and breakfast with scope for future growth. Early negotiations with Preferred Commercial must come highly recommended.
