LOCATION
The village of Shaldon is on the level and this property occupies an enviable position right in the heart of the village. Surrounded by elegant houses, the River Teign, beach and harbour are only a stone’s throw away. The village has an active community and Shaldon has excellent road links to the M5 motorway, connecting all parts of the UK. Nearby, there is an international airport offering flights to European and worldwide destinations, not forgetting Dartmoor National Park, Dartmouth and the cathedral city of Exeter with its world-renowned university. Within a reasonable drive are also places such as the Eden Project and Cornwall.
BUSINESS
The Guesthouse has been successfully operated by a husband-and-wife team with part-time assistance when required and has earned a fine reputation with excellent TripAdvisor feedback and high repeat custom. The business is open for approximately 8 months per year due to lifestyle choice but can easily trade profitably all year round to greatly improve the already impressive trading accounts. We, the agents, feel that should the acquisition of the cottage happen, a further two letting rooms would easily be achieved. This turn-key guesthouse comes with a comprehensive handover to ensure continued success. Full accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
