Listed town centre guest house up for sale

A Grade II listed historic building in Otley town centre which is currently a guest house and has planning consent to be transformed into a home, is for sale with estate agent Dacre, Son & Hartley.

Dowgill House has six bedrooms and offers buyers the opportunity to trade from the moment they collect the keys. It is on the market for £595,000.

The property was constructed in 1753 and offers four first floor en-suite bedrooms, as well as two substantial former bedrooms in the upper storey that are currently used as the owners’ apartment.

There is a cobbled, double fronted courtyard providing ample car parking and an enclosed southerly facing rear garden.

Tim Usherwood, who heads Dacre, Son & Hartley’s Otley office, said: “Dowgill House has a long history, and has been sympathetically modernised to create a successful guest house that is immaculately presented, with an excellent reputation and lots of repeat trade.

“As a result, it will appeal to both experienced accommodation providers and anyone considering a career change who is looking for a successful business, that is also a fantastic lifestyle opportunity, in a popular area close to stunning countryside.

“Alternatively, it also offers the opportunity to create a splendid home, in a historic building, right in the town centre.”
