This opportunity to buy a small hotel within five miles of the coast, with six letting rooms, a restaurant with 32 covers, a separate bar and attractive outdoor setting with an orchard is a rare one, and due to the current owners' retirement.

Attractive Orchard Lodge has run to date as a successful guest house and restaurant in a serene rural setting.

The well-established business features stylish guest rooms, with a restaurant known for its excellent food and frequented both by locals and visitors to the area.

With potential for expansion or further development, the sale of Orchard Lodge includes most fixtures, fittings, and the potential for an easy take over of the business, that has AA 5 Star Silver rated accommodation, and a 2 AA Rosette restaurant, with a 2023/24 Good Food Award.

Currently the owners choose to operate for around nine months of the year, which gives scope to develop the business further over 12 months, or offer lunches, weddings, afternoon teas, glamping or other pursuits.

With the property is a self contained three-bedroom owners' property, attached to the business but with separate central heating.

There is also planning permission in place for two shepherd huts in the orchard, or paddock, where water and electricity supplies are already installed.

Guest house accommodation includes six super king or twin en suite bedrooms, with the restaurant, and a summer house in the garden.

Further options for future use include the possiblity of using the property as a large holiday let or multi-generational home.

The property falls under the rural business rate relief scheme, and is Band D Council tax for the owners’ home premises.

There is an oil central heating system, and LPG cookers in place, with mains drainage.

Orchard Lodge, North Street, Flixton, Scarborough, is currently for sale at an asking price of £875,000, with Harris-Shields Collection, Scarborough, tel. 01723 341557.
