Leisure specialist Sidney Phillips has been instructed to market for sale an immaculately presented guest house in Kent, which boasts potential for alternative use as a family home or as a development project.
Willow Cottage is situated in the centre of the popular seaside village of Dymchurch. The area is popular with day-trippers and tourists seeking to explore the vast marshlands as well as the South Kent coastline running from Dungeness to Folkestone. The area encompasses a large number of tourist attractions including the historic citadel town of Rye, Camber Sands, Dungeness National Nature Reserve and Port Lympne Zoo.
Willow Cottage (formerly known as Dr Syn's Restaurant & Guest House) is situated along Mill Road, a stone's throw from the village centre, close to the main car park and access to the beach and promenade. The Grade II listed property has been extensively invested in and is presented to a high standard, including, two lounges, a breakfast room, kitchen and five en suite bedrooms.
The extensive gardens boast outbuildings to the rear, which with benefit of a side access, could be suitable for the erection of a new residential dwelling, subject to planning permission.
Willow Cottage operates as a B & B Guest House with high occupancy levels. It is currently operated on a lifestyle basis, only utilising three of the five bedrooms at a time, but there is ample scope for a new owner to increase sales and profit margins by utilising all five rooms as well as using online booking forums. The business is extremely popular with travellers to and from Europe, cyclists, walkers, those travelling to the nearby steam railway and those attending weddings at Port Lympne Zoo. Alternatively, the property could be used as a holiday let or family home.
The freehold interest of Willow Cottage is available off an asking price of £720,000.
