The eight letting rooms are split over the first and second floor of the guest house with six set out as king or double rooms, and two being twin rooms.

All rooms have en suites, with the exception of room six which has a separate bathroom.

The front garden has formal box bushes and lavender, with rockery to the side. The rear garden enjoys an excellent degree of privacy, with sun terrace, garden room with boiler room off, and extensive lawns with well stocked borders, established trees, and a large vegetable plot. Detached double garage.

The owner’s accommodation would be accessed from the main kitchen or separately via an external door, to include a lounge area with kitchenette and via stairs to an area for the bedroom and bathroom/en-suite. This area requires refurbishment to turn into a useable bedroom and en suite. The area is very spacious and would make for comfortable living once converted.

Having been acquired by our clients recently, they have utilised the property as a holiday rental, however, they would now like to provide an opportunity to anyone who is considering entering the hospitality sector as an easier way of building up experience.

It has previously run as a successful guest house, albeit with only four lettable bedrooms due to the previous owner’s family circumstances, therefore the history of its previous operation and an understanding of the type of revenue that could be generated would be discussed with interested parties.
To add to the revenue, there is the option of opening the gardens for weddings, or venue hire for marquees or similar given the extent of the gardens at Redmayne House.

There is also scope to offer some evening dining for guests by either using the dining room itself or offering a ‘to bedroom’ service.

There is circa £40,000 of existing forward bookings for 2024.

There is no trading information available although detailed forecasts can be made available and discussed with interested parties.

A new lease would be drawn up based upon terms to be agreed, including the annual rent, for a period of 10 years.

Confirmation of business rates payable should be obtained from the Local Authority.
