Offered to the market for the first time in decades, this well-presented and long-established family-run hotel occupies a prime position in the centre of Wisbech.
Marmion House Hotel is being sold due to the current owner’s retirement, bringing an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold with strong trading history, ongoing income, and clear potential for future expansion or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.
This property is available in our upcoming Thursday, 8th May auction with a guide price of £750,000 - £800,000 (plus fees).
Comfort and potential
Currently operating as a successful and well-regarded hotel, the main building welcomes regular weekly bookings. It offers 12 spacious guest rooms, each tastefully decorated and complete with modern en-suite facilities, providing comfortable, high-quality accommodation for visitors.
In addition to the bedrooms, the main building includes a charming reception area, a dining room suitable for breakfast service, and a cosy lounge with a bar area, creating a relaxed atmosphere for guests to unwind.
Behind the scenes, Marmion House Hotel is supported by a fully equipped commercial kitchen, a dedicated laundry room, and separate toilet facilities to ensure smooth daily operations.
Also located within the main hotel is a self-contained duty manager’s apartment, comprising a comfortable sitting room, a bedroom area, and a private bathroom, ideal for on-site accommodation or staff use.
On the ground floor, a fully equipped, currently vacant hairdressing salon presents an exciting opportunity to revive a business or transform the space to suit a variety of alternative uses, depending on the new owner's vision.
Space galore
In addition to the main hotel building, there are two adjoining houses which have been thoughtfully converted into further guest accommodation.
Number 17 Lynn Road offers six sizeable, en-suite letting rooms along with a dedicated laundry area, while Number 19 Lynn Road comprises four self-contained apartments. These annexed properties are perfect for extended stays and provide a high-yielding income stream.
Outside, a private driveway leads to a large rear parking area, providing ample off-street parking for guests and staff. A covered smoking shelter is also located in one corner of the site, discreetly positioned to serve the needs of hotel patrons.
Room to grow
With lapsed planning permission previously granted for a rear extension that would allow for the addition of six further guest rooms, there are exciting development opportunities on the horizon. Reinstating this consent presents a clear path to increasing both capacity and income.
In addition, and subject to the necessary approvals, the property holds the potential to be transformed into self-catering accommodation or reconfigured as an HMO for a more hands-off investment.
Ideally situated in the centre of Wisbech, the hotel benefits from high visibility, excellent transport links, and close proximity to local amenities, making it an attractive addition to any property portfolio.
Jenny Austen, Area Manager, commented: “Marmion House Hotel’s excellent condition, central location, and wide range of amenities make this a standout opportunity for investors, developers, or hospitality professionals looking to acquire a successful and much-loved commercial premises with room to grow. The hotel already enjoys a loyal clientele, with many returning visitors and regular tradesmen utilising it for mid-week stays.”
