A stunning, highly successful owner operated boutique guesthouse with 10 bedrooms. This is probably one of the most beautiful properties you will find in Cornwall. This detached manor, overlooking the East Looe River, also provides owner’s 3/4 bedrooms together with 2 large level lawns, 3 works shops, retractable swimming pool cover for all year usage, substantial south facing terrace and large car park located within the highly sought-after coastal town of Looe, Cornwall. The property is ideally situated to take advantage of good arterial road links connecting the M5 and is walking distance to the harbour, beach, and town centre. Early viewings are highly recommended.
Location
This property is located the highly sought-after coastal town of Looe, Cornwall with its beautiful scenery, picturesque chocolate box town and is within minutes’ drive to the A30 which connects with a short drive the cathedral cities of both Truro and Plymouth, which also has a direct mainline to Paddington, London. The town of Looe is vibrant all year round and has a good local population with an active community throughout the year.
Business
With 10 letting en-suite bedrooms, the owners currently operate with 4 bedrooms only due to lifestyle choice. This alone generates an income of circa £80,000 but we, the agents, feel that a realistic target of £200,000 could easily be achieved. Because of the quality, location, parking and space on offer, the business could easily provide retreats, specialized breaks, weddings, afternoon teas and much, much more. Actual trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
