Country house and wedding venue hits the market
A Grade II listed historic manor house and family run hotel, restaurant and wedding venue in the Wye Valley is up for sale with a £1.5m price tag.
Glewstone Court is located in a small hamlet near Ross-on-Wye in the Herefordshire countryside and has been run by Gary and Karen Homewood since they acquired the property in 2014.
The couple embarked on a five-year renovation programme, investing significantly to modernise the dated Georgian house.
The property now comprises nine en-suite guest rooms, a large restaurant, bar and lounge and two other private dining rooms / conference and event spaces situated within the Georgian main house and two Regency wings.
The venue caters for weddings and private events, with the house available for exclusive hire.
Gary and Karen Homewood said: “After seven incredible years at Glewstone Court, we have decided to take a step back in order to spend more time with our children and grandchildren. This decision ultimately presents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique and popular venue with significant potential for further development to increase income streams. We sincerely hope that we can find the right buyer to build on the solid foundations we have laid and continue the great relationships which we have forged whilst enjoying an enviable lifestyle in the stunning Wye Valley.”
Richard Thomas, senior hotels broker in Christie & Co’s hospitality team is handling the sale.
He said: “The market for good quality country assets is fiercely competitive at the moment which is due in the main to a real lack of supply. Glewstone Court is a rare example of a traditional family ran business, incorporating a profitable operation with significant room for growth and a real opportunity for a new owner, all in the surroundings of one of the UK’s most idyllic locations.”
