A Beautifully Presented Guest House in a Prime Location
Torquay , Devon
A beautifully presented and exquisitely refurbished guest house, situated only a short stroll from the seafront, harbour and town centre of Torquay. This well-established property retains many of its original features, including elegant high ceilings and expansive front-facing windows, that offer lovely views across neighbouring fields. Offering eight en-suite letting bedrooms all decorated to a high standard, alongside a spacious one-bedroom owner's accommodation with entrance to the sun terrace. The property also benefits from a private, enclosed rear courtyard and a private car park with space for 4 vehicles. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all this property has to offer.
LOCATION
The Netley Guest House is ideally situated within minutes’ stroll to the seafront, harbour and Torquay town centre. While conveniently located near restaurants and shops, it enjoys a quiet and tranquil setting overlooking playing fields. The Riviera Centre, The Aztec Pool & Spa (both available for public use) are only minutes’ walk, as are transport links, including train and bus stations. Torquay continues to be a much sought-after, year-round coastal destination, ideally positioned to access all main arterial roads linking Plymouth and Exeter, with the international airport, mainline railway and M5 motorway.
BUSINESS
The Guest House has been under the ownership of our vendors since 2022 and has been run as a lifestyle bed and breakfast with a 5* guest rating on TripAdvisor. Throughout this time the owners have invested heavily throughout the guest house, ensuring it is decorated to the highest standard. Currently, the business operates on a limited seasonal basis by choice, but there is potential to extend operations year-round if desired. As agents, we believe there is a significant opportunity to further enhance the strong trading figures.
