A rare opportunity to purchase an 8/10-bedroom Victorian freehold guest house in the year-round seaside resort of Teignmouth, Devon. With a consistent demand throughout the year and limited availability in the area, this property offers an excellent business opportunity. The owners' accommodation, comprising 2 bedrooms and is highly flexible. Currently, due to extensive family living with the owners, the business operates with only four bedrooms. The property features a modern gas central heating system and a pressurised hot water system. At the rear of the property, there is a large mature garden with a palm tree, shed, terrace, and a spacious workshop. The guesthouse has received outstanding reviews and enjoys good repeat custom.

Brunswick House is located in the picturesque town of Teignmouth, within an impressive terrace of splendid Victorian properties. Situated on the South Devon coast, it is a short drive from both Torbay and the Cathedral City of Exeter, which houses an international airport. The property offers partial sea views and is just a stone’s throw away from the beach and promenade. Teignmouth is highly regarded for its independent retailers, arts district, and vibrant community spirit. The town also boasts a sea sports centre, a nearby golf course, and easy access to the South Devon coastal path, making it an attractive destination for holidaymakers. Additionally, the railway station, with direct links to London and beyond, is just a few minutes’ walk away, and there is convenient access to the motorway network. Teignmouth stands out as one of the most desirable destinations in the Southwest of England.

This business has been successfully owner-operated for many years. It benefits not only from its strategic trading position, just meters away from Teignmouth seafront, but also from its internet booking website, resulting in impressive turnover and profit figures. Currently operating with only four rooms due to the extensive living arrangements of the owners within the property, there is significant potential for expansion. The business could be further enhanced by extending operating period, making more rooms available, and utilising social media marketing. While the internal decoration is good and even even though trading with only four bedrooms, it still trades with a high turnover. Formal viewing is recommended to assess the business potential. Actual trading accounts will be provided following a successful formal viewing.
