BREDON HOUSE, MALVERN, WORCESTERSHIRE FOR SALE

SUMMARY A special B&B with stunning views to the Cotswolds Charming Regency property only a short walk from the middle of town 10 letting bedrooms and a two bedroom garden flat for owners Turnover 94,930 net of VAT, has done more but illness requires a slower pace 650,000 - Freehold INTRODUCTION A successful small hotel for more than 150 years, this elegant property is arranged over four floors and nestles on the eastern slopes of the Malvern Hills. As a result there are spectacular views which set it apart from most of the competition. Built during the Regency period of the 1820s, reputedly for the mistress of a wealthy local landowner, it was one of the first villas in the increasingly fashionable spa town of Malvern. Apart from the occasional house party, this is a pure bed & breakfast business. There is even an honesty bar so owners don't have to play 'mein host' into the evening. An elegant, Regency-style staircase gives access to all four floors including the owner s self-contained apartment which opens out onto the terraced garden. Bredon House occupies a prominent position on the Top Road (A449 to Worcester) and is a short walk from the town centre making it an ideal location for bed & breakfast trade. This is first class walking country, with the Malvern Hills the main draw. There is much more for the keen rambler, with the Cotswolds to the east and the Wye Valley to the west. One can also enjoy the attractive spa town of Malvern itself, home to many music festivals as well as a very successful theatre. Add to this the flourishing private schools and expanding light industry as well as the Three Counties Showground (with a yearround diary of shows and exhibitions), and you have the ideal mix of both leisure and commercial guests to support the business. Our clients bought the business in 2005 having fallen in love with the property, the view and the town and have very much enjoyed the lifestyle that a business of this sort gives. However, it is time to retire and move closer to the grandchildren who are in London and they leave behind a business which has seen the addition of an extra letting bedroom, a lot of refurbishment and upgrading as well as improvements to the owners' accommodation. All-in-all, it is an excellent package. BREDON HOUSE, MALVERN, WORCESTERSHIRE, WR14 4AA
