A lovely 7 x en-suite bedroom guest house is for sale only a stone’s throw from Paignton Sea Front, harbour, and a level walk to the Town Centre. The property is ideally situated and benefits from good owner’s accommodation on the ground floor and a beautiful guest garden area to the front, as well as good owners' accommodation and parking space to the rear. The building is in good order and is reluctantly being placed onto the open market. Early viewings are highly recommended.
Ideally located within a short walking distance of Paignton Town Centre and the attractive seafront promenade, this property is strategically close to the beachfront, taking advantage of tourists arriving in Paignton. It is also situated close to the large Town Centre car park. This property is only minutes’ drive from major cities like Plymouth and the Cathedral city of Exeter with its M5 motorway and international airport.
This business has been successfully owner-operated for many years and, due to its location and quality accommodation, subsequently trades very well over 6/7 months per year. Because of the owner’s personal situation, the guesthouse has not been operating to its full capacity for the last couple of years. We, the agents, feel that due to this and the fact that this Guest House currently has very little social media presence, a few simple tweaks would greatly improve the income potential. However, an excellent repeat custom exists to build on this great business. Actual trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
Entrance is over a lovely front garden with what must be one of Torbay’s largest palm trees. A part-glazed door leads to the VESTIBULE (1.56m x 1.20m), a great space to hang off any boots and jackets, with a built-in electrical cupboard and also housing the fire alarm system. A part-glazed door leads to the HALLWAY, a lovely welcoming space with a turning staircase to the upper floors and doors to:
