A beautiful guest house with 8 en-suite letting rooms has the potential to add an additional letting room. Millbrook is ideally situated for tourists visiting Torquay, Devon and is within walking distance of the restaurants, harbor, and beach. This profitable guest house has recently upgraded all their rooms to a high standard and have large windows which make them feel bright and spacious.
The property also has a guest lounge, a spacious dining room,, and lower ground floor which could be used as additional owners’ accommodation, granny annex, holiday apartment, Air BnB or even a bar / games room. There is already a spacious owners’ accommodation with its own garden and separate patio to the side. To the front is a large car park for all guests. Early viewings are recommended.
Millbrook Guest House is located upon entering Torquay and is ideally situated for the bus and main-line railway station, also benefiting from high passing trade. The main beach, harbour and local restaurants are just a short walk away through the pleasant gardens of Torre Abbey. Torquay is probably the most popular seaside holiday destination in the UK at present and has excellent road links to the M5 motorway linking all parts of the UK. Nearby, is an international airport offering flights to European and worldwide destinations and not to forget Dartmoor National Park, which is only a short drive away.
BUSINESS
The guest house has been successfully operated by a husband-and-wife team and has earned itself a fine reputation with excellent trip advisor feedback and high repeat custom. The business is open for approximately 8 months per year due to lifestyle choice but can easily trade profitably all year round to greatly improve the already impressive trading accounts. The lower ground floor could easily be converted to additional letting accommodation which could be a holiday let / Air BnB. This turn-key guesthouse comes with a comprehensive handover to ensure continued success. Full accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
