Treboeth

Full Description

DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Treboeth Guest House is an end of terrace, mid 19th Century, granite cottage, which has been substantially extended over the last thirty to forty years. Prior to its current use as hotel staff accommodation, it was run for many years as an eight-bedroom guest house, and still retains that lawful planning use.

In recent years the property has had further investment in upgraded electrics, room heaters in all the bedrooms and a modern fire alarm system. It is, however, in need of cosmetic upgrading throughout to reinstate its use as guest accommodation. The accommodation is surprisingly extensive, and would allow itself to reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents, into self-catering or serviced suites, or to enhance the owner’s accommodation.

The property is ideally situated for the seasonal holiday trade, as it is in easy walking distance of the town centre shops, Public Houses & restaurants, and harbour area. It is also just a stones’s throw from the ever popular Porthcressa Beach and upgraded Porthcressa are generally. 

In its former ownership, the property was run as a seasonal guest house, on a Bed & Breakfast basis only, with tariffs around £40 per person per night. It held a Visit England “Three Star” grading. 

In summary, a large and flexible property, with the ability to generate a substantial income after a scheme of refurbishment. The current stamp duty holiday for residential properties up to £500,000 may also provide an added boost to purchasers looking to acquire a cost-effective introduction to the Scillonian property market.
