Situated off Torwood Street, it is just a short walking distance from the picturesque Marina and Harbour of Torquay and a level walk along the esplanade, with lovely views over Torbay to Paignton and Brixham.

BUSINESS
Redholme Guest House has been trading successfully for many years and enjoys a high level of repeat custom and is much liked by visitors and locals alike. Currently trading with four letting rooms due to lifestyle choice, but could easily trade on 6, 7 or even 8 en-suite rooms, depending on how much owner’s accommodation is required. Currently operated by a husband-and-wife team, we the agents feel that there is tremendous scope to expand on the already impressive turnover figures, not only by letting more rooms, but by utilising the internet further together with greater focus on advertising. Currently trading for approximately 9 / 10 months per year but has potential to trade all year round. Actual trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
