Many bedrooms have sea views, and some have balconies.
External DetailsThe hotel is sat on a corner plot on the junction of Grand Parade and Market Street. Parking is available on the street and within local car parks.
Owner's AccommodationOwner's/staff accommodation is situated on the lower ground floor and offers a one-bedroom self-contained apartment with a large living room, double bedroom and bathroom.
The OpportunityThe current owner has run the hotel for c. 40 years and is now looking to retire. In recent years the hotel has been run as a lifestyle business and therefore there is a huge potential to increase revenue with ease.
Any developers looking for a prime location to develop luxury apartments should consider this opportunity and whilst any development would be subject to change of use and planning, there are many other private dwellings situated very close to the hotel.
Two garages and a pocket of land close by to the site are also available via separate negotiations. These present an excellent opportunity for either storage, a rental income, or future development.
