Description
Gate Lodge is a Victorian house, which has been extensively refurbished throughout, with ground floor public areas and letting accommodation, as well as owner's accommodation on the first and second floors. Our clients have created a warm, friendly and relaxing atmosphere, whilst being ideally placed for all the amenities that Hunstanton and the famous North Norfolk Coast have to offer. They also maintain a lovely garden with outdoor seating in the summer, as well as on-site parking.
LocationSituated close to the centre of Hunstanton. The sandy beaches, main shopping areas and the Princess Theatre are within easy walking distance. North West Norfolk benefits from year round visitors and there are many tourist and leisure attractions in demand across the county and region beyond, including many historic houses, as well as well known coastal towns and villages. Hunstanton is accessible via the A149 from King's Lynn, which is also where the nearest national rail services are located, 16 miles to the south west. Norwich, the main city in Norfolk, is located 43 miles south east, which also has the closest international airport.

Fixtures & FittingsThe guest house is excellently fitted out for the trade undertaken, reflecting the standards set and equally demanded, by both the vendors and guests.
Letting AccommodationGate Lodge has seven attractive and refurbished guests rooms, all en-suite, with showers and some also with baths. There are six doubles and one twin room, with two second floor rooms also offering sea views. There are two more doubles currently being used by the owner's, which could easily add to the letting accommodation.
External DetailsBeautifully maintained gardens, with a raised patio for outdoor seating in the summer. Guests often make use of the mini bar and outdoor seating when the weather permits. There is off-street parking for five cars and our clients rarely have issues with finding spaces on the street to the front of the property.
The OpportunityA charming and well-established guest house attracting new and repeat leisure trade. Gate Lodge has generated good profits considering it only operates from Easter to October. We fully expect profits to grow with new ownership taking the opportunity to expand the operating season.
Owned by our clients since 2008, the guest house has been extensively refurbished and kept to an exquisite standard to retain the repeat business. Given its location and ease of operation, we believe this is a great opportunity to acquire an attractive, profitable four star rated guest house.
Operated by our clients with part-time assistance for housekeeping.
