Greater Manchester - Hotel/function Rooms

The Grand Hotel, formerly known as The Hare & Hounds public house, is located in Stoneclough, a market town in Bolton, Great Manchester. The town lies in the Irwell Valley, seven miles from Manchester city centre and three miles southeast of Bolton.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, Stoneclough was an important coal and cotton town but it is now predominantly residential. The area has many amenities and plenty of walking routes and green spaces such as Moses Gate Country Park and Clifton Country Park.

Stoneclough is served by junction 16 of the M60 Manchester Ring Road and the A56 provides direct access to Manchester city centre. The M61 connects to Bolton and Preston and links to the M6 motorway.

The area is served by Kearlsey Station which is on the Manchester to Preston railway line.

This sizeable, detached building is set over two storeys with a basement. It is of brick construction under a pitched slate roof and dates back to circa 1880.

The Grand Hotel, formerly The Hare & Hounds public house, has received much investment and refurbishment over the past 12 months. It now trades as a hotel with a private function space and caters for birthday parties, anniversaries, weddings, funerals and private events. The hire charge for the function room is £495.

The letting rooms, which are marketed on Airbnb for £50 per night, have proved popular and attract business travellers and contractors visiting the Greater Manchester area.

There is potential to increase trade with more extensive marketing of both the function suite and the letting rooms.

Two post lockers also generate an income of £2,500 per annum.

Alternatively, the property may be suitable for development/conversion to residential apartments (STPP), given there is much demand for housing in the area.

All mains services are connected and the property benefits from both CCTV and an alarm system,
