LOCATION
The guest house is in Brixham, Devon, which is a bustling all-year-round seaside town benefiting from being within Torbay. The town is known for being very picturesque, with a large fishing industry, extensive marina and bustling all-year-round community. The property is ideally situated upon arriving in this town and is within minutes' walk to all local amenities, town centre and harbour. This property benefits from a large car park for all the guests. A bus stop is nearby and the property is within easy access of all main arterial road links which connect quickly to the M5 motorway. At the harbour, there is a regular water shuttle service to Torquay and only minutes' bus journey away is the famous yachting town of Dartmouth, which can also be reached by the nearby steam railway.
BUSINESS
The guest house is successfully run by the owner occupiers for many years and a full hand over to ensure a smooth handover and continued success will be provided. Large amounts of capital investment have been lavished on this property, and it is now presented to an excellent standard, which reflects in the lovely reviews, high repeat custom and subsequent profits. Because of our clients' lifestyle choice, they only operate approximately 7 months per year but could easily trade much longer adding to the already impressive turnover.
