This long-established guest house features eight bedrooms and is located in a prime position along the A69, conveniently situated between Carlisle city centre and the M6 motorway. The property has been under the same ownership for 25 years and is now on the market due to retirement. While it does require modernisation, this presents a unique opportunity for a savvy investor or someone looking to renovate and enhance its appeal.
The layout includes a hall with stairs leading to various common areas, such as a guest dining room and a sitting room that could also serve as an owner's bedroom. A small conservatory adds charm, while the galley kitchen and sizeable utility room offer functionality. The eight bedrooms are varied in size, with multiple ensuite options available, allowing for flexibility in accommodating guests.
On-site parking is available, which is a significant advantage in this busy location. The property's proximity to scenic attractions like the Lake District, Solway Coast AONB, and Hadrian's Wall enhances its potential as a profitable guest house or alternative investment.
With easy access to Carlisle's vibrant café culture, historic landmarks including the castle and cathedral, and excellent transport links—including direct trains to major cities—this property stands out not just for its features but also for its location benefits. The growing demand for accommodation in this area makes it an attractive proposition for anyone willing to invest in renovations aimed at improving occupancy rates and overall return on investment.
Given all of these factors, this property represents an exciting chance to revitalize an established business or convert it into another form of hospitality or residential space suited to current market demands.
