Description

delightful Grade II Listed period building, originally dating from the 18c, comprising a collection of four buildings arranged on either side of Castle Street. The principal hotel consists of two adjoining buildings arranged over basement, ground, first and second floor, and occupies a broadly C-shaped layout.

Our client acquired the property in 2017 and has since invested approximately £1.7m in capital expenditure. The most recent investment programme was undertaken in FY24/25 and included a soft refurbishment of all 49 bedrooms, together with the repositioning of the restaurant as a steakhouse. Prior to this, the Old Town Hall building and the wider accommodation offering was comprehensively refurbished at a cost of £774,000.
