Property description
Being sold as a going concern with a projected turnover for 2014 in the region of £50,000 on a bed and breakfast basis, Baldwin House comprises an attractive Georgian Grade II Listed well established guest house laid out on three floors with later Victorian additions being located within the town of Stourport-on-Severn and just a short walk from the marina and the River Severn.
The house is adorned with many superb period features throughout and holds a fascinating past with a link to the local heritage as it was owned for many years by Thomas Joseph Baldwin, iron founder and uncle of the late Prime Minister Sir Stanley Baldwin.
Baldwin House offers 10 letting bedrooms including single, double, twin and king size beds with one of the rooms housing a 4 poster with its own balcony plus 7 en suite showers and excellent private owners accommodation with a separate self contained coach house to the rear. The property is situated on a quiet street of Georgian townhouses within a conservation area and the town of Stourport on Severn itself offers all the usual local amenities with furthermore extensive shopping, educational and recreational facilities within the surrounding centres of Worcester, Kidderminster and Droitwich. Motorway access is gained at either Junction 5 or Junction 6 of the M5 and this provides swift commuting to Birmingham and The West Midlands, Bristol and The South West and London and The South East via M42/M40.
This sale represents a fantastic opportunity to prospective purchasers seeking a well established guest house business offering excellent scope to increase the turnover even further than at present and the selling agents strongly recommend a viewing.
