    FOR SALE THE HIGHWORTH HOTEL 1 WESTROP, HIGHWORTH, SN6 7HJ Offers over £800,000 – Freehold THE HIGHWORTH HOTEL, 1 WESTROP, HIGHWORTH, SN6 7HJ SUMMARY • A handsome townhouse hotel in fantastic location • Over 100 covers plus 10 smart letting rooms • Courtyard garden and large car park • £60,677 net revenue in the year ended January 2020 The Highworth is a stunningly attractive town hotel, restaurant and bar formed within a listed, mid terraced Georgian townhouse. Guests arriving by car arrive through the old coaching arch, a structure with development possibilities, into a large car park. The hotel has a light and bright feel with a tasteful palate of colours that embraces its history and yet has a contemporary twist - something found throughout the building, including the 10 super letting bedrooms which are popular with both leisure and business travellers. Situated in the centre of Highworth on the main A361 Swindon Road the hotel looks down the high street towards the Market Place of a town is noted for its quintessential Georgian buildings and Queen Anne style architecture. There is an immediate population of c.10,000 but is only six miles northeast of Swindon centre and the huge population of this bustling town and well as being conveniently located under 10 miles north of the M4. It is therefore a very convenient base from which to explore the hugely attractive Cotswold’s which lies just to the north. Our clients bought the hotel as an investment in 2016 and in their time, they have upgraded and improved not only customer facing areas but back of house too.
