Any new owner would be able to walk in and trade immediately.

At present the business trades for just eight months of the year, fitted around the owners holidays. They deliberately trade just below VAT levels.There would be excellent opportunity for continued growth by trading for extended periods including Christmas and New Year, providing evening meals and introducing non-residents licenced dining, to exploit all year local demand.

The present owners have thoroughly enjoyed their time at the hotel, but are now looking to spend more time travelling before they get too old!

THE ENTRANCE
The property is approached through two stone pillars and a cast iron gate via a long sweeping tree lined driveway leading up to the house. In front of the house is a wide tarmac parking area.
There is an area of secondary parking by the two lower garages.

The house itself is south facing with views to the sea and Caldey Island
and backs onto the Ritec Valley a SSSI site It has been fitted with three solar panels for hot water.

Gardens and grounds.

St Lawrence sits surrounded by a glorious mature shelter garden which comprises of formal lawns, herbaceous beds, rockeries, kitchen garden and a vast array of mature shrubs and trees.
A ha-ha separates the garden from the large paddock/meadow, whilst a belt of tree and woodland shelters the house to the west.

The grounds themselves total approximately 10 acres (STS) and incorporate the woodland, pasture land, and two orchards of over 100 fruit trees. There is also an area to the east of the house with soft fruit bushes, blackcurrant, raspberry’s, gooseberry and strawberry’s.
An Old English rose garden was created with David Austin roses well known for their highly perfumed award winning flowers.

The formal gardens are to the immediate rear of the property with established flower and shrub borders and lawn.

The southern boundary backs on to the Ritec Valley, a SSSI site (site of special scientific interest) with a small fresh water stream running through the bottom corner into the Ritec Fen.

The house and grounds would make a substantial family home with an income if run as a guest house. The present owners let only five of the six bedrooms as one is used for family. They have kept the turn over just below the VAT level. Turnover could be increased if required with the letting of the sixth bedroom and by offering evening meals or/and a daytime tea room in the conservatory (with the appropriate consent).

With the land, St Lawrence lends itself to many possibilities and other uses e.g equestrian, smallholding (self-sufficiency) or grazing pasture for livestock.

The new trend in quality glamping YURTS and TIPI’S could be something to consider with the right permission.

Just released turnover & Profit for 2010 -2011: Turnover increased to £56,336. Profit at its highest level of £30,602!!!! These amazing figures still leave vast scope for a new owner to increase profits!

The Guest House has massive scope to increase this as we are limited to the service we offer due to our sale reasons.

Over the 5 years of ownership we have continual ploughed back into the business all profits to up-grade and maintain the property to a very high standard.

The Guest House is easily run by the two of us without any help from staff and still gives us a very relaxed ‘lifestyle’ change we wanted.
