ALWAYS dreamed of running your own B&B or tea room? Well, this could be your chance.
A B&B and tea room in an historic Dorset village has gone on the market with a guide price of £575,000.
Abbots Bed & Breakfast and Tea Rooms in Cerne Abbas is a Grade II listed mid-terrace property which dates back to the early 17th century.
Lizzie Ball, of Savills Wimborne office, said: “Abbots B&B and Tea Rooms is a characterful property offering a fantastic lifestyle business in an historic village location which is close to tourist attractions as well as being situated along the popular Wessex Ridgeway walking route.”
The tea rooms occupy part of the ground floor with seating for up to 26 people.
There is also a private garden and patio area with additional seating for about 45 people, with some areas covered and heated.
Also on the ground floor is a trade kitchen with open pass and utility/storage area, and customer toilets are within an outbuilding.
The B&B is over the first and second floors, with a total of five bedrooms.
The accommodation has access to the rear and the first floor could be used for owner’s accommodation if desired.
Chris Bickle, director in the licensed leisure team at Savills Southampton, said: “Dorset is an extremely popular tourist destination, offering beautiful coastline, rolling hills and scenic walking and biking trails.
"The demand for lifestyle businesses in the region continues to remain strong and we expect Abbots B&B to receive healthy interest from this type of buyer.”
The freehold interest, inclusive of commercial inventory, is being marketed by Savills residential and commercial teams in Wimborne and Southampton.
