This expansive property offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, featuring nine bedrooms and a flexible layout that caters to various business uses under Class C2 designation. Currently operating as a guest house, the property is not only well-suited for hospitality purposes but also holds potential for conversion into residential care, training centers, or other multifaceted operations.
The main three-story Victorian structure showcases six en-suite guest rooms along with essential amenities such as a reception area, an office space, a dining room accommodating twelve guests, and a fully equipped commercial kitchen complete with laundry facilities. This setup allows for immediate operation in the hospitality sector while providing scope for further enhancements tailored to specific business needs.
At the rear of the property lies a modern two-story building currently utilized as private accommodation. This area features a lounge, kitchen, WC, bathroom, master bedroom with en suite, and two additional bedrooms. Notably, planning permission has been obtained for extending this building into additional studio units, which would significantly increase rental capacity and revenue potential.
The convenience of ample parking at the rear and on-street availability at the front encourages easy access for visitors and staff alike. Its strategic location on Bondgate—one of Pontefract's busiest thoroughfares—ensures strong visibility and exposure to foot traffic. The property is also conveniently located within half a mile of Pontefract Monkhill train station and has excellent connectivity to major roads leading to Wakefield, Leeds, Doncaster, York, London, and beyond.
