Property description

This is a very imposing and versatile period property on the Eastern Esplanade overlooking Stone Bay in Broadstairs. Currently it is being run as a small hotel and it can continue to be run as a successful going concern or revert to being a very substantial family home. One of the other important aspects about this hotel is the large private car park at the rear that can safely accommodate all the guests’ cars – a real bonus in Broadstairs.

The property is only a few moments walk from the sandy beach at Stone Bay and a short distance from the plethora of diverse restaurants and the quirky individual shops in Broadstairs as well as the picturesque Viking Bay.

For some serious retail therapy Westwood Cross ticks all the boxes, with its wide range of high street stores and the Vue cinema complex and casino that caters for a variety of entertainment needs.

There are excellent transport links, with nearby bus stops to Margate and Ramsgate and the mainline station for the high speed link to Canterbury and London, with the time to St Pancras being about 1 hour and 22 minutes.

The newly completed dual carriageway network to Dover and the Thanet Way and M2 to Faversham and London makes Broadstairs very accessible for road commuters.

The town attracts a huge number of visitors every year as, not only does it enjoy a selection of beautiful sandy beaches for swimming and surfing, but the town also hosts a variety of annual events including Folk Week, Dickens Week and the Broadstairs Food Festival.

The property includes 12 bedrooms spread over two floors, 11 of which are en suite and could all be used as guest rooms. In addition there is another bedroom, shower room and lounge on the ground floor that are used as the owners’ private quarters. At present eight of the bedrooms are guest rooms, while three are retained as ‘family’ rooms.

What the Owner says:

“We originally bought the property about 13 years ago as a family home as we loved the size and location, overlooking the sea at Broadstairs. However, it was still being run as a hotel and we had one guest staying. As a result of looking after one guest we decided to continue the business and since then have built up a sizeable clientele with many people returning year after year – some of whom even specify which room they want. In fact, during Folk Week we have people who have been coming to the hotel for 30 years and the wonderful atmosphere makes us feel we are hosting a large house party.
Since we have been here we have refurbished the property and designed the décor of every en suite room individually to enhance the ambience and to give our guests a heart warming experience. We have always been keen to ensure that all our guests feel really welcome and we have got to the stage were we treat them all as friends.
To ensure everyone is comfortable both in the bedrooms and in the main reception rooms, we have always ensured that there are enough sofas and seats in both the bar/lounge and dining room so everyone can sit down or have a meal at the same time if they want to.
All the beds, linen, chairs, tables, china, cutlery and other fixtures and fittings will be included in the sale. There are also a number of forward bookings in the diary so anyone buying the property can literally move in and take over straight away.
