This highly successful business currently operates for 8 months of the year due to the present owners’ lifestyle choice and is now being placed on the market due to retirement....
LOCATION
The Shoalstone guest house is situated in an enviable area of Brixham, Devon with stunning, marina, harbour and sea views. The guest house benefits from easy vehicular access and is in close proximity to Dartmouth and the South Hams, Torbay, Dartmoor National Park and the Cathedral city of Exeter with its international airport and M5 motorway. Brixham is the second most important fishing harbour in the UK and is very picturesque with an eclectic mix of good boutiques, fine restaurants and marina which generate a huge influx of visitors all year round.
BUSINESS
The Shoalstone guest house is successfully owner operated over a period of 8 months per year because of lifestyle choice. However, we the agents feel there is great scope to expand the existing impressive turnover by:
1 Operating at maximum capacity by letting out the 2 top rooms which are at present only used for friends and family, whilst still providing sumptuous owners accommodation
2 Converting the top floor into a self-contained unit for letting purposes/owners accommodation and renting out the attached two-bedroom house as a holiday rental
3 Opening all year round
Full accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
