12 bed detached house for sale

Hensleigh House, Lower Sea Lane DT6

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an established and trading Bed & Breakfast in the heart of the Jurassic Coast.

The Business

This well-established Bed & Breakfast business was purchased by the current owners around 5 years ago. The vendors have undertaken extensive refurbishment works throughout the property to give the property a luxury, clean, modern boutique ambiance which oozes quality. Following the refurbishment, the turnover of the business has grown to around £200,000 per annum, with repeat customers and owners with a reputation for excellence driving the business growth.

Superb kitchen facilities and a fully licenced dining room for up to 20 covers is largely unutilised during the evenings and with low staffing costs and a stunning location near to excellent road and rail links, there are are a number of ways new owners will be able to add even further value to this wonderful business.

The sale of the business includes the freehold interest in a tastefully refurbished detached property, a stone's throw away from the stunning Dorset seaside.
