Character Boutique Hotel for Investment/Development Opportunity
Offered for sale is this Grade II listed hotel, believed to date back to the late 15th Century with further additions extending the current accommodation to provide 12 en-suite bedrooms (11 double/twin & 1 single) with an additional two storey mews cottage. The upper floor accommodates 8 rooms with a further 4 rooms being positioned across the courtyard car park within a detached coach house. Externally, there are 2 car parks providing circa 30 parking spaces along with stone paved seating area leading to an attractive lawned garden with an additional area that is covered by a timber shelter over an external games area. The accommodation has a bar, lounge, and a minimum 40 cover restaurant with a further private dining room along with a function room to the first floor. In our opinion, the purchase would offer continuing use as a destination restaurant/boutique hotel or an investment purchase whilst also offering a residential development opportunity, as we understand that planning consent was granted from Bridgend Borough Council for conversion of The Great House into two separate residential units, and the Coach House to be converted to one residential unit. The planning permission exists in perpetuity as approximately 25% of the original planning permission has been completed.
The property is located within the sought-after conservation village of Laleston, within a short distance of the Glamorgan Heritage Coastline with easy access to the seaside town of Porthcawl and the Royal Porthcawl Golf Club, and the ever-popular market town of Cowbridge, the larger town of Bridgend with a good array of shopping facilities, whilst also offering excellent access to the M4.
