DescriptionThe owners of The Ashling Tara operated the property as a hotel for more than 15 years. In 2019, they elected to change the use of the property and obtained an HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) licence, subsequently leasing the entire building to Omnia Housing. The lease with Omnia housing was renewed in April 2026 and runs for another year.
The property currently generates a rent of £84,000 per annum, with exceptionally low landlord outgoings of approximately £1,350 per annum, providing a highly attractive and low-management investment opportunity.
HMO licences are subject to renewal every five years. The current licence was successfully renewed in May 2024 and remains valid until May 2029. The property is licensed for 14 occupants and is currently fully let. The building occupies a large corner plot and has a large rear garden with access from Bampton Road.
LocationThe Ashling Tara Hotel is located at 50 Rose Hill, Sutton, Surrey, SM1 3EU, in a prominent position on the A237, directly opposite Rosehill Park, which offers sports and tennis facilities.
The hotel is situated in a convenient South London location, providing easy access to both central London and key destinations across Surrey.
The property is within walking distance of Sutton town centre, where there are a wide range of shops, restaurants, cafés and local amenities. It is also close to both Sutton Station and Sutton Common Station, with regular rail services into Central London, making it a practical choice for both business and leisure travellers.
The hotel's location offers excellent connectivity to major attractions and business hubs including Wimbledon, Epsom, Croydon, Morden, Cheam, and Carshalton. Popular nearby attractions include Nonsuch Park, Hampton Court Palace, Epsom Racecourse, and The Royal Marsden Hospital. Road access is also convenient via the A23 and M25, providing straightforward travel to Gatwick Airport, the South Coast and wider Surrey.
This accessible location, combined with complimentary parking and good public transport links, makes the Ashling Tara Hotel an attractive accommodation option for visitors to Sutton, South London and the surrounding Surrey area
Internal DetailsThe accommodation comprises 11 self-contained ensuite rooms, each benefiting from its own kitchenette.
In addition, there is a communal kitchen located on the ground floor, together with a laundry room and boiler room. The communal kitchen provides direct access to the rear garden and laundry facilities.
Development PotentialThe Ashling Tara occupies a substantial plot with generous frontage, side access and rear gardens, offering significant scope for further development, subject to the necessary planning consents (STPP).
The size and configuration of the site present a range of potential opportunities, including the creation of additional accommodation, conversion into self-contained flats, or the extension of the existing HMO operation. The property also lends itself to a variety of alternative uses, such as a children's nursery, care home, medical or healthcare facility, doctor's surgery, supported living accommodation, or other community and residential uses, subject to planning and regulatory approval.
Its versatile layout, prominent position and sizeable plot make it a highly attractive asset for investors, developers and owner-occupiers seeking future value-add opportunities.
Planning PermissionsIn 2018 planning permission was granted to add three additional rooms in the loft but due to the pandemic the owner didn't not renew and the planning permission has since lapsed.
