An elegant Victorian guest house with 6 en-suite guest letting bedrooms and a luxurious penthouse apartment, all presented to an overall high standard. Trading successfully as an owner-operated business, it has undergone a rolling refurbishment under the current ownership, with great potential for further expansion. The property includes spacious and flexible owners’ accommodation with 3 bedrooms, a pretty garden with seating to the front, parking to the rear and an elevated, enclosed private terrace. Ideally located on Belgrave Road, which is the prime tourist area. Early viewings are highly recommended.
LOCATION
Situated on Belgrave Road in the very heart of busy, year-round Torquay, Devon, this location benefits from a high influx of tourists visiting the Bay. It is ideally positioned within a couple of minutes’ walk of the town centre, harbour and seafront. All local amenities are in the immediate vicinity, with easy access to the main arterial roads linking Plymouth, Dartmouth, Brixham and the cathedral city of Exeter, with its international airport and the M5 motorway connecting all parts of the UK. The local bus and train stations are nearby, making this location ideal for anyone wishing to use public transport.
BUSINESS
Chesterfield Guesthouse has been successfully trading as an owner-operated business for many years, on a bed and breakfast and room-only basis. Trading only over 10 months per year, we, the agents, believe there is great potential to increase the already impressive turnover. This quality guest accommodation provides a turn-key opportunity for the next lucky owner. The business has excellent reviews and have received Trip Advisors Travellers Choice Award two years in a row. Actual trading accounts will be provided following a successful formal viewing.
