The Old Vicarage Hotel and Restaurant in Bridgewater, Somerset, has been brought to market for an asking price of £1.2m.
Owners Peter Starling and Candida Leaver have managed the property since 2019, and are now selling to retire.
The hotel is located in the market town of Bridgewater and dates back to 1327. It still includes many of its original features such as oak wood panelled ceilings, open Hamstone fireplaces, exposed beams and an original ‘wig cupboard’.
The hotel’s restaurant and bar seats up to 68 guests and also offers a covered, heated patio seating a further 42 guests with a wood fired pizza oven overlooking the large private gardens.
The award-winning dog friendly hotel also includes 18 refurbished en-suite letting rooms ranging from singles to suites.
In addition, a new owner could further develop the wedding and events services into the 84-seater marquee. There is also potential to include additional letting rooms or more very comfortable owner accommodation.
Stephen Champion, hotels director at Christie and Co, said: “Since acquiring the hotel our clients have undertaken an extensive and sympathetic restoration that touched almost every single part of the building.
“The property is now presented in excellent order throughout and is in the perfect position for a new owner to take over. We have no doubt this unique hotel and turnkey operation will generate significant interest from both existing operators and newer entrants alike.”
