About this home

Occupying an enviable position on the very edge of Whitehaven's picturesque town centre, this elegant Georgian property enjoys far-reaching views across the marina and towards the Irish Sea. Currently operating as an exceptionally successful guest house with an outstanding 9.6/10 Booking.com rating, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving lifestyle business in one of West Cumbria's most sought-after coastal locations. Beautifully presented throughout, the property has been thoughtfully upgraded by the current owners and offers truly turnkey accommodation with six stylish en-suite guest bedrooms, ranging from single rooms to spacious doubles and family suites, arranged across both the ground and first floors. A stunning dining room to the ground floor opens into a light-filled conservatory where guests can enjoy breakfast whilst taking in the superb marina views, whilst a well-appointed kitchen and adjoining utility area provide excellent catering facilities. The owners' accommodation, also to the ground floor, comprises a comfortable lounge and an en-suite bedroom, allowing for practical on-site living. The guest house enjoys an excellent reputation and strong repeat business, making it an attractive proposition for those seeking a successful hospitality venture. Full trading accounts and business information will be made available to genuinely interested purchasers following a formal viewing. Whether you are looking to continue the business exactly as it stands or further develop its already excellent reputation, this outstanding property offers an exciting opportunity in an established tourist destination close to the Western Lake District, the Cumbrian Coast and excellent transport connections. Whilst currently operating as a flourishing guest house, the property's traditional and versatile two-storey layout also presents exciting potential for those seeking an impressive private residence. Subject to the necessary change of use being applied for and granted, the accommodation could be reconfigured with relative ease to create a substantial family home, perfectly positioned within walking distance of Whitehaven's vibrant town centre and beautiful marina. Opportunities to purchase a property of this calibre, with such flexibility and an unrivalled setting, are exceptionally rare and early viewing is highly recommended.
