The freehold of the Gibbon Bridge Hotel and Restaurant in Chipping, Lancashire has been placed up for sale for an undisclosed sum on behalf of a private individual.
Gibbon Bridge Hotel is set in nine acres of landscape gardens, five miles outside of Longridge. It has been extended and refurbished over the past 40 years and now comprises 30 en-suite bedrooms.
The property is a popular wedding venue and includes a separate bridal apartment and a licensed garden bandstand for wedding ceremonies between April and September. There are also three function rooms – the conservatory, the orangery and the cavalier lounge – for up to 130 guests. The function rooms are equally popular as locations for business conferences.
Gibbon Bridge has a bar and separate restaurant that provides formal dining. In addition, the property also offers BBQ facilities, a garden bandstand, a tennis court, a helipad, as well as staff accommodation and proprietor’s house.
The hotel benefits from close proximity to tourist attractions such as Clitheroe Castle, Hoghton Tower, Pendle Hill and Trough of Bowland, which are all within 10 miles.
Tom Cunningham, Hotel Capital Markets director at Savills Manchester, who is handling the sale, said: “Gibbon Bridge Hotel and Restaurant offers a unique opportunity to purchase a property that is a popular destination for visitors with scope to grow it through already granted planning permissions. Located in the heart of the picturesque Forest of Bowland, it has been meticulously refurbished throughout the years and would suit an investor looking to add value to the property and make it their own.”
