A beautiful 10-bedroom guesthouse with the potential of 1 holiday apartment for sale. This turnkey business is located a short distance from the water's edge, harbour, and town centre in the much-sought-after Torquay, Devon. This impressively presented property occupies a commanding corner position and offers flexible accommodation with 1-3 (or more) bedrooms for owners' use, depending on the usage of the letting apartment. The rooms have undergone a transformation and are now presented to a 5-star standard. With a private courtyard garden, parking for guests, and excellent TripAdvisor reviews, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Early viewings are highly recommended.
Ideally located within the popular coastal town of Torquay, Devon, the picturesque marina and harbour of Torquay are only a short walk away. A level walk along the Esplanade provides stunning views over the bay towards Paignton and Brixham. The Riviera Conference Center and train and bus stations are nearby. Torquay is ranked as the No. 1 staycation destination in the UK and is an all-year-round busy coastal resort. Conveniently located along the Jurassic Coast, it is only an easy drive to places such as Dartmoor National Park, Dartmouth, the Eden Project, and the cathedral city of Exeter with its international airport and M5 motorway, linking all parts of the UK.
The guesthouse has been operated successfully by a couple without the need for staff. They have transformed it into a high-end guesthouse, which, due to its location close to the water's edge, quality accommodation, and low maintenance required, generates good occupancy and income. Trading with only nine rooms and now being placed on the open market because our clients wish to start a family and are looking to relocate. This is a truly fantastic opportunity to capitalise on the hard work that is obvious when entering the establishment. Actual trading accounts will be made available following a formal, successful viewing.
