Historic country hotel in Haworth hits the market for £650k

Ashmount Country Hotel, a 5 star star country house, situated in Haworth, West Yorkshire, has been launched to the market.

The property itself dates back to 1870, and was built for Dr Amos Ingham who was the physician to Charlotte Brontë.

Fleurets, the leisure property specialist, is marketing the property’s freehold for around £650k

Ashmount was acquired just over ten years ago by the current owners, who have heavily invested in redeveloping Ashmount into a luxury small hotel and guest house.

A detached Victorian property, Ashmount Country Hotel comprises of 8 individually furnished en suite letting bedrooms, including 3 spa rooms, each with whirlpool baths and external decking areas with hot tubs.

The rooms are complimented by a private flat for owners/management, as well as dining and breakfast rooms and residents lounge.

Nick Thomas from Fleurets’ Leeds office commented: “Accommodation led, Ashmount is a successful, luxury operation with plenty of repeat and regular custom. It also offers new owners the opportunity of continuing to run the business along established lines, or exploit the potential to increase trade by the promotion of non-resident dining trade.

“Furthermore, there is lapsed planning permission to add a conservatory and an additional ground floor letting bedroom.

“Management accounts, show sales for the year to 30th September 2015 of £380,670 net of VAT.

“There are plenty of avenues to look at with Ashmount, which is reluctantly being offered for sale due to the ill health of one of the owning partners and at asking price to encourage early interest.”
