Stunning Grade II listed, 19th century boutique hotel with breath-taking sea views, 16 spacious double rooms with en-suites and a large private function room.

This impressive hotel was built in 1876 and was originally used as a family home, before being turned into apartments just after the turn of the 20th century. Since then, the property has been a YMCA holiday centre, a home for the elderly and then back to self-contained flats. The current owners lovingly restored the building in 2014 and the hotel now offers 16 boutique rooms with luxury bathrooms all finished with high end furnishings. Each room offer a unique feature from sea views to a disabled room and all floors can be accessed via a lift or for the more energetic a beautiful staircase with mahogany hand rail sweeps the centre of the budling. The hotel offers a restaurant seating 80 covers (currently serving breakfast only) fully licenced bar and function room, all of which could enhance the income for a potential investor. The hotel is currently managed by a couple who occupy the ground floor serviced accommodation and is overseen by the owners and part time staff members. There are many other features to be discussed upon viewing the property. All certificates for maintenance are current and can be viewed upon request. They are subject to 50% non-domestic debit and 50% discount for retail, hospitality and leisure. For guidance on this matter, we would encourage interested parties to consult with East Suffolk Council. Non domestic rateable value 2023/2024 is 1996.00pa
