Property description
This well presented guest house is located in an excellent trading position in the heart of Swanage town centre, a short distance from the beach and Swanage Steam Railway. The well proportioned and spacious accommodation is arranged over three floors and it is furnished and equipped to a good standard throughout. Firswood was built in the early 1950s and has external elevations of brick construction, with a tile hung bay, under a clay tiled roof with a flat roof extension added in later years to the rear. It has been established as a Guest House for many years and has a reputation for homely accommodation and an extensive clientele. There are 7 comfortable letting bedrooms (6 en-suite) which can accommodate up to 15 guests. The business operates throughout the year and generates a good income. Audited accounts are available for genuine applicants to view upon request. The website for the business is firswoodguesthouse.co.uk. The majority of the furniture, fixtures and fittings will be included in the price apart from a number of personal items which the seller wishes to retain. A full inventory will be provided and attached to the contract in the event of a sale.
