Substantial Freehold Hotel with Licensed Bar, Owner’s Accommodation

Hurstmere is a sizeable freehold hospitality property offering a combination of income-producing guest accommodation, a licensed bar and extensive owner’s accommodation, with further scope for reconfiguration or alternative use, subject to the necessary consents. The property benefits from a frontage with seating areas and a side driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, leading to a gated private yard. The enclosed yard offers additional parking or external amenity space and provides separate access to the owner’s accommodation, together with fire escape access serving the bar, enhancing operational flexibility and compliance. At basement level is a fully fitted themed bar, previously operated as a pirate-style public house, complete with refrigeration, entertainment systems, pool table and ancillary storage. The bar benefits from independent access to the rear yard and is supported by a boiler and utility room with laundry facilities and further storage. This level offers potential for reinstatement as a destination bar, private function space, or repurposing subject to requirements.

The ground floor provides the main hotel reception areas, including an entrance hall, circulation space and a fitted breakfast room with buffet equipment and associated storage. Guest WC and baby-changing facilities are also located on this level. In addition, there is a substantial self-contained owner’s accommodation, comprising three bedrooms, a lounge and a well-equipped kitchen with external access. This accommodation could remain as managers’ quarters or be reconfigured to enhance guest or staff accommodation, subject to layout requirements.

The upper floors provide nine guest bedrooms in total, arranged as a mix of standard doubles, family rooms and family suites. Eight of the rooms are fully furnished and ready for immediate occupation. All guest rooms benefit from ensuite bathrooms, with the majority also offering televisions, mini fridges and hot drinks facilities. Certain rooms enjoy sea views, adding to guest appeal.

Hurstmere represents an opportunity for hotel operators, investors or developers seeking an established hospitality asset with upside potential, flexible layout and the ability to adapt the property to a range of commercial strategies, subject to the appropriate consents.
