Net Profit:

A stunningly presented boutique guesthouse offering eight to nine individually styled en-suite letting bedrooms, positioned in a highly central location within Torquay, Devon, just minutes from the town centre and seafront. The property has undergone extensive refurbishment and is presented to an exceptionally high standard throughout, with themed guest rooms, high-quality communal areas and strong design consistency.

The guesthouse previously traded successfully for several years under the current ownership and built a solid reputation with visitors and local repeat custom. Due to the owners’ ill health, the business is currently not trading; however, it retains full operational infrastructure and could be readily reinstated with an effective marketing strategy. The opportunity therefore suits a purchaser seeking a turnkey hospitality property with scope to re-establish trading and rebuild revenues.

Guest facilities include a newly configured open-plan residents’ lounge, dining room and central bar, a professionally equipped commercial kitchen, multiple garden areas, on-site laundry facilities and private guest parking with EV charging. The overall layout supports high-quality boutique trading with strong guest appeal.

A major additional benefit is the substantial and luxurious owners’ accommodation, finished to the same exacting standards as the guest areas. The owners’ apartment is currently used as a spacious one-bedroom residence but is highly flexible and could easily provide two or three bedrooms, making it suitable for a range of owner requirements. The accommodation benefits from direct internal access as well as separate external access, along with private garden areas and a garage.

The freehold sale includes all trade fixtures and fittings (excluding the vendor’s private inventory). A full inventory will be supplied prior to exchange of contracts. The property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a high-end guesthouse with strong fundamentals, exceptional presentation and clear potential to recommence trading.
