- Former Hotel Partially Converted To An Hmo With Scope For Further Conversion
- Vacant Commercial

- *Guide Price : £300,000 - £330,000 Fees
The Roseglen traded for many years as a successful hotel in this popular seaside town on the east coast of the Isle of Wight.
As the demand for hotel rooms has lessened in recent years, the Roseglen has now been reconfigured to include a six-bedroom HMO on the first floor. We are advised that planning consent has not been obtained for this conversion but that an HMO licence has been issued by the Local Authority, following works requested by the Council to include a new fire alarm system and fire doors. Prospective purchasers may wish to pursue planning consent to the existing HMO arrangements. It is considered that further scope exists for additional conversion works on the lower ground and ground floor, subject to all necessary consents being obtainable.
The lower ground floor is, at present, configured as two one-bedroom flats and a bedsit which had previously been let which are presently vacant.
Lower Ground Floor
Configured as two one-bedroom flats and a bedsit and a range of former bedrooms and store rooms not used since the hotel ceased trading.
