Description
Originally constructed in the early 20th century, Whitehouse Guest Rooms is a substantial and well-maintained property that has been sympathetically updated over the years while retaining much of its original character. Spread over two generous floors, the building offers a flexible and practical layout that is ideally suited for conversion to a supported living home, residential care facility, or high-end HMO. The property comprises 13 spacious bedrooms, 12 of which benefit from private ensuite facilities. Each bedroom is light and airy, with large windows allowing for plenty of natural daylight. The rooms are generously proportioned, easily accommodating double beds, wardrobes, and additional furnishings, making them highly adaptable for a variety of uses. On the ground floor, you are welcomed into a wide hallway leading to several of the bedrooms and key communal spaces. There is a large lounge area that would serve perfectly as a shared living room or recreational space for future residents. Adjacent to this is a dining room, ideally located near the main kitchen, which is fully fitted with ample units, preparation space, and modern appliances. There is also a second kitchen on the upper floor, providing additional cooking facilities that could be retained for use by staff, residents, or for zoning specific needs. A ground floor WC adds further convenience and accessibility. The first floor houses the majority of the remaining bedrooms, most of which include ensuite bathrooms with modern fixtures. The layout on both floors has been designed with functionality and ease of access in mind, offering wide corridors and a natural flow throughout the property. Additional features include a recently installed new boiler, ensuring efficient heating and hot water across the building. The interiors are neutrally decorated, well-lit, and in good overall condition, allowing for minimal work prior to occupation or redevelopment. Overall, the internal space is highly versatile and lends itself to multiple uses. With the majority of rooms already ensuite, ample communal areas, and two kitchens in place, the property is exceptionally well-suited to meet the needs of modern care or supported living environments. Its solid structure and practical layout make it an ideal foundation for further investment, reconfiguration, or expansion.
