A Grade II-listed Georgian hotel on Weymouth’s renowned esplanade has been brought to the market for £970,000.
The Bournville Hotel is a freehold five-storey property which has 16 rooms, and is located 10 metres from the sea.
The Bournville Hotel has been trading in Weymouth for 70 years, and is located at the southern end of the resort.
The letting bedrooms at The Bournville include three family rooms; three triples; seven doubles; two twins and a single.
In addition, the owners have a flat on the lower ground floor with a large family kitchen, living room and three bedrooms.
Weymouth Bay and Portland Harbour have benefitted from the investment in the area when it was chosen as the main venue for the London Olympic and Paralympic sailing events in 2012.
Ed Jefferson from the South West office of Colliers International, which is marketing the property, said: “The esplanade and seafront support any number of smaller B&Bs but as a large guest house/small hotel, the Bournville occupies a fairly unique niche. And unlike many of its neighbours, it is freehold.”
He added that it is presently producing net sales of more than £246,000 per annum, but believes it is capable of producing higher profits.
“Our clients acquired the property in 2014 but have decided to concentrate on their other business activities – giving new owners the opportunity to come in and put their own stamp on the business,” he added.
