Property description

We are privileged as the owners sole agents to offer this excellent opportunity to acquired this very versatile 14 room hotel. Currently run as a hotel but with potential to be converted to provide large family accommodation with a business income subject to planning permission, The Long Range Hotel is situated on the edge of Whimple within extremely good communications to the A30, M5 motorway, and the beautiful cathedral city of Exeter. The site enjoys space for 100 cars in the car park and attractive secluded gardens. Plans have been drawn to extend the property however planning permission has not been followed through. Currently run as a Swimming School and Hotel with two specialised pools running at 32 and 36 degrees. This hotel site requires further investment to meet the potential. Being one of the closest hotels to the new town of Cranbrook currently being constructed on the edge of Exeter gives tremendous potential to expand.
Currently the accommodation comprises: 7 bedrooms in the hotel and 7 further rooms in the grounds with a large dining room, fully equipped bar and sun lounge and a large fully equipped commercial kitchen. The spacious reception hall has a study off and laundry room and 2 pools with changing rooms, fire alarm system and fire doors throughout.
We as the owners sole agents would not hesitate to recommend an immediate viewing as properties with this potential very rarely frequent the local market.
