A wonderful Victorian 11-bedroom En suite guesthouse is for sale in an enviable location, just minutes’ walk from the town centre, harbour and beach. The property features its own large car park for guests, a spacious garden, balcony terrace and a two-bedroom owners’ accommodation. For many years, this business has operated successfully as a B&B, but recently operations have been scaled back due to our clients’ many other business interests. Given its size, the property could easily be repurposed or converted, suitable for an HMO, fully automated Airbnb accommodation, or even redevelopment. Early viewings are highly recommended.
LOCATION
The property is situated on St Marychurch Road, ideally positioned between the town centre and the local amenities of St Marychurch and Babbacombe. It’s a short walk to the town centre, harbour and marina, with convenient access to local bus and railway stations, as well as major arterial roads connecting to cities like Plymouth and the cathedral city of Exeter, which boasts an international airport.
BUSINESS
The Everglades has traded successfully under its present owners for several years, earning a fine reputation with locals and visitors alike. Despite deliberately restricting opening periods and room availability due to the owners’ other business interests, we as agents believe there is significant scope to expand turnover by enhancing internet presence, fully utilising all guest bedrooms, or reinventing the property. Actual trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
