Unique Guest House In Staffordshire For Sale

Business description

We are pleased to offer for sale this popular guest house, which was established by our client in 1986 and which is only now being placed in the market due to a change in our client's circumstances. The 1930s built property, which was previously 'The Old Police Station', benefits from double glazing and central heating throughout and boasts 4-star rating. There are 6-letting rooms, a spacious resident's lounge, conservatory dining room, newly fitted kitchen and large attractive garden with a patio area. The business also offers owners' accommodation located on-site. The premises are well-equipped to suit the trade and are maintained to a high standard throughout. Our client has developed an excellent reputation and a loyal customer base by offering competitive rates and providing a relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Breakfasts are freshly cooked to order and all ingredients are sourced locally. There is a website in place, which provides information about facilities, location and contact details. The business trades at a pace to suit our client and generates a turnover in the region of £27,000 per annum with a gross profit of 90%. We feel that turnover could be increased by embarking on a modest marketing campaign and by expanding the website to include on-line booking. There is also scope to introduce morning coffee, afternoon tea and evening meals. Our client advises us that planning permission has been approved for further letting rooms. This is an ideal opportunity to acquire a unique guest house, situated in a popular tourist destination and which is in a walk-in-and-trade condition, with scope to develop further. Early negotiations with us must come highly recommended.
