An established eight-bedroom boutique bed and breakfast in the South Hams has come to the market, offering an incoming owner the opportunity to build on almost a decade of investment, development and hospitality experience.
Brightham House, in the popular South Devon village of Malborough, has been brought to market by Charles Darrow Commercial Property Agents with a freehold asking price of £985,000.
Owned and operated by Scott and Alistair for almost ten years, the property has evolved significantly during their tenure and has been carefully developed into a distinctive boutique hospitality business, combining guest accommodation with a strong lifestyle proposition.
The result is a property that sits somewhere between a traditional B&B and a small boutique hotel, with a clear sense of identity and an emphasis on creating an experience for guests rather than simply providing accommodation.
The eight-bedroom property includes a range of guest facilities, together with owners’ accommodation, a south-facing garden, guest bar, dining facilities, gym and wellbeing space and approximately seven parking spaces.
Over almost a decade, Scott and Alistair have invested significant time, energy and creativity into Brightham House, developing both the physical property and the way in which it operates. The house has been designed around the guest experience, with individual rooms and communal areas given their own character and personality. The result is a hospitality business with a strong independent identity, rather than a conventional guest house format.
Charles Darrow Director, James Sanders said:
“Brightham House is a particularly interesting hospitality opportunity because it offers an incoming owner an established business, but also genuine scope to put their own stamp on it.
“Scott and Alistair have created something very special, with a strong boutique feel and a clear focus on the guest experience. After almost ten years of ownership, they have decided that the time is right for someone else to take the business forward.
“The property lends itself to a number of different approaches, whether that is continuing with the existing B&B model, moving towards a more traditional boutique hotel operation, introducing a stronger food and beverage element or developing the lifestyle and wellbeing side of the business further.”
