An exceptional opportunity to acquire a unique piece of history, this Grade II listed windmill in Scarborough dates back to 1784 and stands as the last of its kind in the area. Currently functioning as a successful hospitality business, it boasts strong financial performance with year-on-year growth. Nestled in a serene private courtyard just a stone's throw from the coast, town centre, and rail links, this property merges historical charm with investment potential.
The layout features two splendid suites within the windmill tower, including the renowned Balcony Suite that offers sweeping 360-degree views. In addition to these suites, there are two self-contained holiday cottages and four en-suite guest rooms, alongside considerable owners' accommodation that could be repurposed for further rental income. The inviting reception and dining areas comfortably accommodate guests while the fully equipped commercial kitchen supports operational needs.
Substantial renovations have already been undertaken by the current owner, encompassing bespoke gates and railings, replacement timber windows, extensive roofing works on the dining room, along with upgraded heating systems and modern security measures. Additionally, there's potential for further development thanks to a separate building plot that could accommodate an additional cottage or parking facilities.
As one of Scarborough’s most historic buildings and coastal attractions drawing millions of visitors annually due to its rich heritage and vibrant local economy, this property holds immense promise for those looking to expand upon its existing business model through enhanced marketing strategies or diversified hospitality services.
