LOCATION:
This attractive opportunity is to be found in a relatively small village near Southampton. A yachting mecca, the village is often packed during the summer, crowded with people out enjoying the water. It is the largest recreational boating centre in Europe with over 3,000 moorings. The village and its river are one of the many locations that made up the fictional village of Tarrant in the BBC series Howards Way, in the late 1980's. An annual regatta has been running here for well over a hundred years. The earliest known mention of the village is in 720 AD when it is recorded that Saint Willibald, a monk educated at a
monastery nearby, set sail from the river for the Middle East. Smith's Industries, who employ over 1,200 people and BP are two major local employers attracting businessmen to the area seeking overnight accommodation.

COMMENTS:
The Vendors who previously ran the property successfully as a Care Home, scaled down their operation to the current more easily managed B&B. They now wish to retire creating an exciting opportunity for a new owner to build the business and take advantage of the significant number of tourists and sailing enthusiasts visiting the area year round. Alternatively there is residential development potential for investment purposes.
Financial information will be made available to seriously interested purchasers after they have formally viewed the business.
