Grade II-listed hotel to be sold at auction
A Grade II-listed hotel is to be sold at auction later this month.
The Knighton Hotel is located on Broad Street in Knighton, a town on the River Teme and the England-Wales border in Powys near Shropshire.
Built back in 1867, the four-storey property will go under the hammer with a guide price of £310,000 at the auction at Villa Park on Wednesday 23 October.
Ian Tudor, managing director of Bond Wolfe Auctions, said: “The Knighton Hotel is an attractive stone property adjoined by a more modern, half-timbered building in the heart of an historic town centre.
“This is a spacious, Grade II-listed property that would be suitable to continue as a hotel, restaurant and wedding venue, or it could be developed for a variety of alternative uses including residential, subject to planning and listed building consents.
“It really is a joy to tour this building, with its extensive lounge areas, a bar, a restaurant for approximately 80 covers, a striking function room for approximately 200 covers, 16 en suite bedrooms and a good-sized duplex flat with its own entrance.
“Other rooms include a commercial kitchen with food hoists to the banqueting suite, a dry store, washing up section, cellars, plant room, laundry room and additional satellite kitchen.
“The property also features a particularly attractive staircase to the upper floors, and two timber decks outside to service the main restaurant and bar.”
The Knighton Hotel is just one of 131 lots going under the hammer in Bond Wolfe Auctions’ next sale on Wednesday 23 October at 10.30am at the regular venue of the Holte Suite at Aston Villa FC.
