Brixham, Devon
A beautifully presented 5-bedroom ‘wow-factor’ guest house, including 1 x one-bedroom fisherman’s cottage, garden, parking and owners’ beautiful penthouse accommodation with commanding views over the harbour and out to sea. The property has undergone a rolling refurbishment programme and is now presented to an excellent overall standard. The property benefits from stunning sea views, this highly successful guest house enjoys great TripAdvisor ratings, with a high number of returning guests. It trades highly successfully and currently operates for approximately 10 months of the year due to lifestyle choice. Brixham is the jewel within Torbay, boasting a chocolate-box town centre together with a magnificent harbour and marina.
LOCATION
The guest house is in the very heart of Brixham, Devon, ideally overlooking the pretty harbour with its activity, which remains busy all year round. The town is known for being very picturesque, with a large fishing industry, extensive marina and bustling, all-year-round community. The property is ideally situated upon arriving in this town and is within minutes’ walk of all local amenities, town centre and harbour. This property benefits from licensed car parking for all guests. A bus stop is nearby, and the property is within easy access of all main arterial road links, which connect quickly to the M5 motorway. At the harbour, there is a regular water shuttle service to Torquay, and only a minutes’ bus journey away is the famous yachting town of Dartmouth, which can also be reached by the nearby steam railway.
The business trades exceptionally well, with high occupancy and strong room rates, and if desired, it could operate all year round. Due to lifestyle choice, the owners currently trade for 10 months per year, but the already impressive income, just under VAT and this could be easily increased by extending the season and enhancing marketing. The current income matches that of many similar guest houses that are twice the size, but without the additional workload. Actual trading figures will be made available following a successful viewing.
