LOCATION
This beautifully re-furbished lovely late Victorian house is situated on the seafront at Eastbourne just opposite the bowling green with the promenade and beach just beyond.

It is a substantial attractive property and is located in an excellent tradition position, ideally located on Eastbourne's seafront, opposite the beach and only a couple of minutes walk from the pier and within easy walking distance of the town centre, and with its conservatory/sun lounge to the front for guests to sit, relax and enjoy the lovely views, it is considered an ideal place to stay.

THE PROPERTY
In brief, the property comprises of a substantial semi-detached guest house set over 4 floors including the lower ground floor which, unlike many other properties of this type, benefits from good natural light, and which currently incorporates a family suite and further rooms, ideal to adapt to owners living accommodation, if preferred. Together with a guests dining room, sun lounge/conservatory, private owners lounge, downstairs cloakroom/WC, large kitchen/breakfast room and further utility room on the ground floor, plus the added advantage of private parking for 5 vehicles and a good sized private courtyard style garden.

Outside - Garden and Parking
A door from the kitchen leads to the rear entrance and a very useful paved rear area providing Private Parking for 5 vehicles, which is considered an excellent benefit, particularly on the seafront, and very much sought-after by visiting guests.

Double-glazed patio doors from the dining room lead into the Garden which is also used in high summer for breakfast and has a large eight seater teak table and comfortable padded garden chairs. It is a south westerly facing patio garden and again is somewhat of a rarity in these seafront locations. A large new storage shed is also obscurely situated in the garden.

The Castle Suite is on our lower ground floor accessed from the hallway. It has its own entrance from the hallway down a short flight of stairs into a lobby from which you enter into the first bedroom.

The Castle Suite is beautifully decorated in a contemporary style in pastel greens and pink. There is a King size bed in the first room and two single beds in the second bedroom. Therefore it is ideal for a family with two children. The bathroom has a bath with a shower attached. There is a flat screen TV with Freeview and complimentary tea and coffee tray.

At this level there is also another room used as a Store Room, but it is considered that the entire lower ground floor could equally be used as the owners private accommodation, if preferred, combined with the large kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor above and/or any other rooms desired.

THE BUSINESS
The current owners, who bought the property in 2006, spent approximately 18 months completely renovating it from the lower ground floor throughout, and it now represents a superbly presented Guest House in a prime trading location on Royal Parade, Eastbourne's premier seafront location.

Since being renovated and re-branded, the business opened again for trade on the 1st April 2008 and has been a great success and is very well regarded. It has been awarded 4 stars by Visit Britain and ranked 3rd in Eastbourne by Trip Advisor with a 5 star rating. Run by the current vendors, with the help of a part time lady for just 16hrs a week, the business also has its own very successful website and online booking services and has many visitors booking worldwide. The business also has many repeat customers and has lucrative trade and business contacts providing many repeat bookings.

The Vendors busy period is from March to November leaving three months in which either to close for periods or just tick over. The business is easily to run and easily generates a turnover just below the VAT threshold. The current owners even turn away bookings to keep to this level and a new owner could easily increase sales further, if desired. The turnover to April 2011 was £67,526 and the business is only being offered for sale as the vendors are looking to relocate to the West Country.

An excellent property in a superb seafront location, with parking and garden, and a profitable, well established and beautifully presented Guest House business. Viewing highly recommended.
