A Wonderfully Positioned 6 en-suite Bedroom Guest House

The Haven is centrally located within a beautiful terrace and just a short walk from the town centre, seafront and harbour with its sought-after restaurants. This property benefits from a 9.5kW battery bank, Tado thermostatic radiators, a zero-emission boiler, and a 2000-litre grey water tank, all resulting in very low utility costs.

LOCATION
The Haven is located in a prestigious terrace of properties, in the heart of ‘Belgravia’ while still enjoying the peace and quiet of being set off the main thoroughfare. The property is within easy walking distance of the seafront, shopping area and the Riviera Conference Centre. Both the bus and train stations are also within walking distance.
BUSINESS
This well-established guest house benefits from many repeat clients as well as passing trade. Due to the quality accommodation on offer, the central location and an online dynamic booking system, our client trades profitably, but only over a 6-month period.

Thanks to a large capital investment, energy costs are very low, which improves profitability. Full trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
