FOR SALE BY AUCTION. RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A MULTI-ROOM PROPERTY IN A GREAT LOCATION. CURRENTLY USED AS HOLIDAY ACCOMMODATION. VERSATILE USE OPTIONS.
Property Description
Town & Country Property Auctions are proud to offer an exceptional and rare opportunity to acquire a substantial 12-bedroom guest house, ideally located near the picturesque Roundham Harbour, boasting stunning sea views. This impressive three-storey property is currently a fully operational hospitality business and offers exciting redevelopment potential (subject to the necessary planning permissions).
This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a prominent and versatile guest house in one of the South West’s most desirable seaside locations. With its expansive layout, sea views, operational setup, and scope for redevelopment, this property represents a truly flexible investment.
The current owners, who have operated the business at a level to suit their own requirements, are now selling due to retirement. Thus making for an ideal opportunity for a new owner to take over a well-established business or explore alternative development options.
Offering versatile development potential, the property lends itself to a variety of future uses—including conversion into multiple self-contained apartments, a house in multiple occupation (HMO), or continued use as a guest house or serviced accommodation.
Whether you're an investor seeking a high-yield asset, a developer looking for a coastal conversion project, or an entrepreneur stepping into the hospitality sector, this property delivers both immediate value and long-term opportunity.
Situated within walking distance of local shops, cafes, and restaurants, and with excellent public transport links, the property benefits from a prime location in one of the region’s most desirable coastal areas. Its close proximity to beaches and scenic coastal walks further enhances its appeal to tourists, reinforcing its status as a strong hospitality investment.
Don’t miss this chance to secure a flexible and well-located property with tremendous scope.
