A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL GUEST HOUSE IN A PERFECT LOCATION
Paignton, Devon
A highly successful and well-established 10-bedroom guesthouse, enviably positioned close to the stunning Goodrington Sands, Devon, enjoying open views across an attractive park and within an easy stroll of the beach, town centre and harbour. This impressive and substantial property further benefits from a beautifully appointed, self-contained 3-bedroom cottage, seamlessly interconnected with the main business. Additional features include a generous landscaped garden, a workshop/garage, and an extensive roof-mounted solar panel system with battery storage, providing both sustainability and efficiency. Ample parking is available to both the front and rear of the property. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
LOCATION
Goodrington is one of the UK’s most popular holiday destinations, enjoying strong year-round trade. The property is superbly located within Youngs Park, adjacent to Goodrington Beach, and within a few minutes’ walk of Quay West Water Park and the leisure centre. Dartmouth and Brixham are close by, while the cities of Plymouth and Exeter—home to an international airport, mainline railway station and the M5 motorway—are within easy reach. The location is ideal, being within a short walk along the esplanade to the picturesque marina and harbour, offering lovely sea views throughout.
BUSINESS
Rowcroft Lodge has traded successfully for many years and enjoys a high level of repeat custom. It is well regarded by both visitors and locals alike. Currently operated by a husband-and-wife team, we feel there is significant scope to further increase the already impressive turnover by expanding online presence and increasing advertising activity. The business currently trades for approximately 9–10 months per year, purely by lifestyle choice. Full trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
