A four-star hotel at the heart of a ‘picturesque’ Victorian seaside town is for sale.

Grange Boutique Hotel in Grange-Over-Sands recently underwent a ‘substantial’ restoration and refurbishment and is now looking for new owners.

Marketed by Colliers with an asking price of £995,000, the estate agent said: “Currently operated as a stunning B & B, however, it can be readily adapted to operate as an investment with impressive returns, or an opportunity to open a restaurant and cocktail bar as it possesses all necessary licences.”

(Image: Colliers) This ‘unique’ property, on Kents Bank Road, was built around 1870 and converted into a hotel in the 1930s.

Steps lead up to the hotel reception hall, there is a large lounge and a separate dining room with a large bay window.

The Butterfly Suite is described as an ‘incredibly stylish’ apartment featuring ‘exquisite’ butterfly garden wallpaper, a handmade super king size four poster bed and antique Georgian wall cladding.

As well as a farmhouse country kitchen, there is a fireplace, double spa bath, infra-red sauna, and a private entrance.

Further rooms include Cartmel, a deluxe king room, Yewbarrow an executive queen room with wild flamingo wallpaper, and a superior king room on the ground floor.

There is a fully equipped commercial kitchen, with commercial grade appliances, preparation room and wash up area, plus a laundry room with WC.

The owners have obtained planning permission to build a single storey extension adjoining the dining room, to create a new, fifth suite. There is also a large loft space, which is currently unused.
