Description

A home and thriving business - all is one super-stylish package!

If you‘ve dreamed of making a new life on the coast, then we have the perfect place for you. The New England Hotel is an elegant Victorian townhouse that combines both a spacious, comfortable home with a booming nine-bedroom bed and breakfast business - and it‘s in a prime seafront position in the vibrant Sussex seaside resort of Eastbourne.

With four miles of glorious seafront stretching from the town‘s chic Sovereign Harbour to the towering white cliffs of Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters, with a backdrop of the rolling South Downs, this is a thriving seaside town that‘s been buoyed by heavy investment in recent years, resulting in an influx of younger families and London commuters. It‘s a dynamic and welcoming community backed up by the bells and whistles of a comfortable lifestyle, all at a more affordable price than neighbouring Brighton.

The current owners of The New England Hotel have invested in the last few years too, with the entire property immaculately presented. The fresh, light d?cor chimes perfectly with the lovely heritage features such as the carved oak staircase, magnificent stained glass windows, soaring ceilings and decorative coving.

Built in 1890 and nestled among similar elegant Victorian properties on the exclusive Royal Parade, The New England Hotel extends across four floors and overlooks the pretty Pavilion gardens and the promenade. With a total guest capacity of 23, it‘s in an enviable corner position with six of the nine guest rooms enjoying those awe-inspiring sea views.?

The owners‘ ultra-spacious self-contained apartment is located on the lower ground floor with a delightful garden terrace overlooking the seafront and an additional garden to the side. A separate one-bedroom flat, a private let, is located on this level too.

The guest rooms all have en-suite bathrooms and are positioned across the three upper floors with the restaurant, dining room and guest lounge all on the ground floor where they enjoy the glorious coastal panorama. A dedicated, well-equipped kitchen deals with the catering requirements.?

The New England Hotel is a thriving business and full of profitable promise - its sheer size offers great potential and flexibility of use. The restaurant/lounge/bar area is perfect for weddings and functions, a lucrative option which could be developed and include sole use of the hotel too, if desired. The owners‘ private living space could be expanded, the number of guest rooms decreased, reconfigured or repurposed as holiday lets, and there‘s also the potential to apply for change of use to residential apartments or Co-living.?

We‘re sure we‘ve whetted your appetite and you‘d like to hear more about The New England Hotel and the enticing opportunity it offers, so here are the finer details . . .

Spacious, immaculate and oh-so-welcoming

The practised eye of the current owners, who have been in the hospitality business for 35 years, is clear to see as soon as you step into the lobby of The New England Hotel with its original and recently restored tiles underfoot. A dazzling stained glass inner door leads into the hall where the heritage features add to the warm and welcoming ambience - the intricately carved staircase has a trilogy backdrop of tall stained glass windows, and they‘re simply stunning!?

Of a good size and well-equipped, the catering kitchen lies to the left and comes complete with a Stoves range cooker. Beyond this are two family roomS and a cloakroom/WC. All nine of the hotel‘s guest rooms have been recently re-carpeted and updated with a cool? nautical theme throughout. And this hotel also scores highly on storage - from linen cupboards and a cellar to copious space under the eaves.

The hotel‘s reception rooms are to the right, facing the seafront and flooded with natural light via the wrap-round panoramic windows. The restaurant runs the width of the building with the dining room and lounge adjacent and open plan, offering everything the discerning guest requires, in style and comfort.

Seven further guest rooms - six doubles and one family room - are located on the first and second floors. ? All are light and airy, with pristine bathrooms and white sanitary-ware. The two largest bedrooms on the first floor revel in the best sea views, with the bonus of each having their own spacious balcony overlooking the Pavilion gardens.?

A place of your own

Located on the lower ground floor, the owners‘ private apartment is an enchanting haven of tranquility - the perfect place to relax and recharge.

With a superb original red-brick inglenook fireplace fitted with a cosy woodburner as the focus, the lounge leads open-plan into the dining room, together measuring 32x12ft? and all flooded with oodles of natural light via two big bay windows - one of which has a French door leading out to the attractive raised garden terrace, the perfect spot for a morning cuppa while browsing the papers or for al fresco dining and entertaining.

There‘s a well-equipped fitted kitchen complete with integral appliances and an adjoining utility room and store. The master bedroom is beautifully presented, with an entire wall of fitted wardrobes, and there‘s a separate bathroom and large cloakroom with WC.

There‘s also a compact one-bedroom flat, utilised as a private let, with its own separate access via the side garden terrace. It has a sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

Nb: All the furnishings of The New England Hotel may be purchased by separate negotiation.

Out and about

Without doubt, Eastbourne is a fabulous place to live - the promenade, Victorian pier, beaches, parks and clifftop walks offer endless options for recreation and fun. Defying the retirement age cliche, the average age here is 43, while the town enjoys a steady influx of under-45s at twice the national rate.

Over the past five years, Eastbourne has been quietly reinventing itself into an exciting creative hotspot - and tourism plays a vital part, annually attracting more than five million visitors and generating more than £336m into the local economy. It sure is a bright and buzzing town, and the perfect place to put down roots - The New England Hotel is at the heart of this, offering a ready-made, profitable business opportunity!

It‘s a great place for families with a choice of 17 state primary, and six secondary, schools, while independent schools St Andrew‘s Prep, St Bede‘s Prep and Eastbourne College are all located within the town.?

There‘s been considerable investment in the cultural scene too with the Towner Art Gallery set to host the contemporary art world‘s Turner Prize next year.

Far from a sleepy seaside town, Eastbourne is endlessly vibrant, cool and inspiring with three theatres, two cinemas, fitness centres, pools and the famous bandstand staging everything from 1812 fireworks concerts to Proms and big bands.?

Restaurants, pubs, bars and coffee shops abound, while shoppers have a choice of high street brands plus independent boutiques and specialist retailers. The main shopping centre, The Beacon, was revamped and relaunched in recent years and shoppers can enjoy a leisurely browse of the pedestrianised high street.?

London commuters can reach the capital in around 90 minutes by train from Eastbourne, or it‘s 54 miles by car.?

The New England Hotel is particularly blessed in its location opposite the pretty Pavilion Gardens restaurant which is currently being updated and due to return next Summer with seafood and cocktails on the menu as well - perfect! We‘re sure you can‘t wait to stroll the prom, breathe that bracing sea air, and enjoy your coastal idyll . . .?
