Village guest house with restaurant and bar for sale in Stanley County Durham

Description

Foresters Guest House is a charming end-of-terrace property in a County Durham village, situated between the North Pennines National Park and the city of Durham, 8 miles from Durham and 9 miles from Bishop Auckland. The village offers scenic walks and cycle routes, and the property enjoys excellent online reviews. The two-storey brick and rendered building dates from the early 20th century and is presented in good condition. The property comprises a breakfast room with dining tables and garden views, a reception with check-in desk and seating, and a well-equipped commercial kitchen with rear storage and utility area. The lower ground floor features an open-plan dining and bar area with a cosy log burner and seating. There are five en-suite letting rooms, including a family room. The owners’ accommodation on the ground floor includes a large en-suite bedroom and storage, previously a letting room that could easily be converted back. Externally, there is a large private garden, outdoor storage, and a car park with ample space. A full licence is held. All mains services are connected, and the current rateable value is £3,250. The current owners have operated the business for sixteen years and now wish to retire. Food and drink service has been discontinued, so there is excellent potential to expand the business and increase turnover.
