Description
The Haven Guest House enjoys an elevated position just a short walk from the centre of the pretty and vibrant tourist town of Rothbury, located on the edge of the Northumberland National Park. Facing south and with some wonderful views across the town and the Simonside Hills beyond, the property also boasts a good degree of privacy and seclusion yet still being very well placed close to shops, amenities and transport links.
Rothbury has many reasons to attract visitors, including its quaint and bustling main street with cafés, pubs and shops, the picturesque Coquet River which meanders its way through the town and Cragside House, a National Trust venue. It is also surrounded by some of the most stunning scenery in the UK including the Cheviot Hills and the Northumberland coastline, home to an array of rocky coves and award-winning sandy beaches plus numerous castles and pretty coastal towns such as Bamburgh, Warkworth and Alnwick.
The cosmopolitan city of Newcastle upon Tyne is around 30 miles to the south while the Scottish Borders with its market towns and rolling hills are a similar distance to the north.
The entrance hall is light and spacious and gives access to the front reception rooms, one of which is used as a guest sitting room and the other as a guest breakfast room and both are elegant with large bay windows affording lovely views.
The hall continues towards the rear of the building where presently there are the owner's sitting room, utility room with WC, the office and finally, the excellent breakfasting kitchen used by the owners as their domestic kitchen and also for the cooking and preparation of guest breakfasts.
On the first floor there are six letting bedrooms, all of which have en-suite facilities, and these rooms include the Oak Suite which has its own sitting room. The second floor provides another six bedrooms, three of which have en-suites and two share a family bathroom. These two rooms are used by the current owners as their living accommodation. It is felt that the second floor could be remodelled at minimal cost, to enable the remaining bedroom to share an en-suite in a Jack and Jill style.
External DetailsThe site size is in excess of one acre and its elevated position provides lovely views to the south. At the front of the building there is a hardstanding car park with stone steps leading past tiered and landscaped lawns to the entrance of this impressive, double fronted, stone built Edwardian property. The driveway continues to the side of the building and provides further guest and owner parking if needed. The rear garden is extensive and lawned and enjoys a good degree of seclusion and privacy.
The OpportunityThe business currently trades as a bed and breakfast operation which affords the owners a great degree of flexibility, an income and a very peaceful and idyllic lifestyle in a wonderful part of the world. Our seller clients are looking to retire which offers the opportunity for a new owner to take advantage of the excellent reputation and client database which the owners have built over the last 20 plus years. Alternatively, the property offers substantial and very well presented living accommodation for a buyer looking for a residential property in one of Northumberland?s prettiest towns.
Outline planning permission has been granted for the construction of a detached dwelling on site which would be ideal for owners living accommodation.
Available on request.
