Probably one of the best positioned guest houses for sale in Torquay, this beautifully presented luxury guest house enjoys a prime setting overlooking the sought-after Babbacombe Downs, with stunning sea and coastal views. The business offers five high-quality en-suite letting rooms and consistently achieves trading figures comparable to many guest houses twice its size, but without the associated workload or expense.
Successfully owner operated and benefiting from a rolling programme of refurbishment, the property is presented as a true turnkey opportunity, requiring no immediate work. The guest accommodation is finished to a high standard throughout, with all rooms tastefully decorated and equipped with modern en-suite facilities, Smart TVs, quiet fridges, Nespresso coffee machines, complimentary beverage facilities, and newly fitted carpets and bathroom flooring.
The business trades with high occupancy and strong room rates. While currently operated for nine to ten months of the year by lifestyle choice, there is scope to increase income by extending the trading season. Light lunches, cream teas, and beverages are offered on the terrace during the busy summer season to both residents and the public, and the premises are licensed to serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Further potential exists through longer opening hours and expansion of the breakfast trade. Full trading figures will be made available following a successful viewing.
Owners’ accommodation is substantial, private, and entirely separate from guest areas, with no guest rooms above. It includes two en-suite bedrooms, a generous lounge/diner, utility room, and a private internal courtyard that enjoys sunshine for most of the day. The property also benefits from parking to the rear, adding to its practicality and appeal.
All trade fixtures and fittings are included in the sale, with stock to be purchased at valuation on completion. A full inventory will be provided prior to exchange of contracts.
