£475k Sunderland guest house up for sale


A twelve-bed guest house on the North East coastline has come to market via Christie & Co, on behalf of Tavistock Hospitality, with a £475k price tag.

Overlooking the North Sea and Roker Pier in Sunderland, Roker Lodge is located close to Sunderland city centre and sits adjacent to the The Roker Hotel, which guests currently have full use of all facilities.

The traditional style guest accommodation provides excellent value rooms surrounded by what is undoubtedly spectacular scenery. Ten of the twelve guest rooms have en-suites and many have unobstructed sea views. There is also a one bedroom apartment at basement level, and a one bedroom owner’s accommodation to the rear of the property.

David Cash, Christie & Co Business Agent who is handling the sale, commented, “Roker Lodge has provided overspill accommodation for Tavistock’s neighbouring flagship site, The Roker Hotel. However, following the refurbishment and rebranding of the main hotel, the Lodge is now surplus to requirement and Tavistock Hospitality is looking to dispose of the asset.

“In the hands of an owner-operator Roker Lodge has the potential to be a successful lifestyle business. Its close proximity to the beach and the sea views mean that it could also lend itself to residential conversion, subject to the necessary consents being obtained – a great opportunity for a developer.”
