Whoop Hall, The Meadows, Kirkby Lonsdale, LA6 2GY

LOCATION & DESCRIPTION

Whoop Hall is a long-established business, a high profile 'landmark' property one mile south of Kirkby Lonsdale. The site is accessed directly off the A65 onto a private road, which provides access to the Hotel and Health Club and a residential development known as "The Meadows". The A65 conveniently connects the site to the M6 motorway six miles to the west. The site is well situated to benefit from both an affluent local clientele as well as the significant passing/visitor trade.
 
The property comprises 24 bedrooms including bar and extensive dining/functions facilities, with adjoining Health Club (pool/gymnasium and treatment areas), plus private and staff quarters.

On a site of approx. 1.07Ha (2.65 Acres) including extensive landscaped grounds and parking, the property is suitable for a variety of development options (subject to planning).
 
Following many years of family ownership (latterly operated by way of tenancy) the previous Hotel premises are presently being operated on a low-key basis pending a disposal; no historic trade details are available. The Health Club (operated independently) remains successful with a considerable local following.
 
The sale of this site represents a rare opportunity to acquire a site of this provenance and quality - now suitable for reinvestment to meet a new owners' operational requirements, capitalising on the attributes of the property and superb location.
