Detached house for sale in Iffley Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX4

The Manor House Hotel - a wonderful opportunity to purchase this glorious three storey Victorian property, currently operating as a successful hotel in this superb Iffley Road location, with much potential for growth - but equally fantastic as a hands-off HMO investment or a stunning family home, with 11 bedrooms and almost as many bathrooms (nine en-suite to bedrooms), large living accommodation and good sized gardens.

Welcome…
The Manor House Hotel has a proven record of generating a healthy profit for almost 40 years as a thriving family business. Due to the owners nearing retirement, this flexible property is now available for sale, offering an excellent opportunity to own and manage a hotel in this prime Iffley Road location, just a few minutes’ walk from the city centre, with so much potential for further growth and development. If running a hotel is not for you, it would also make the most fabulous family home with oodles of space or even a HMO for a hands-off investment - permission for which is already in place.

This fantastic Victorian property is located on the popular Iffley Road, just on the outskirts of this charming historic city, and has plenty of period features and character. It has 11 Bedrooms in total, but as a Hotel operates as 9 bedrooms, all with en-suites, maximising the income-generating areas whilst retaining space for owners' accommodation.

Come on in...
The entrance opens into a spacious hallway with tiled flooring dappled in rainbow-coloured sunlight from the stained glass windows.

To the left is a light and airy sitting room with a bay window to the front and a door that leads into another room. These two rooms could be closed off to guests, allowing the owners some private living space.

Follow the hallway to the rear of the house through the double doors, and you will enter a large common room. Wooden flooring and a brick fireplace surround give this room a cosy, natural feel, with sliding doors at the rear that lead out into the gardens. Once used as a guest dining room and a licensed restaurant but more recently as a guest living space, this room offers a lovely relaxing space with the gardens beyond.

The kitchen serves guests and owners alike, with plenty of much-needed work surfaces and units for storage. There are two smaller rooms that, once used as a bar for guests, could be ideal for a utility area for laundering the linens. There is even a cellar which provides fantastic storage space.

Beautiful Bedrooms...
You will find four en suite bedrooms and a smaller room on the first floor. The largest room sits at the front of the property with a bay window that lets in lovely sunlight. Each room is decorated in a fresh, neutral style and is ready to let immediately.

Up the stairs again to the second floor, where there are four more en suite bedrooms, including a family room. Finally, in the roof space is another bedroom with an en suite bathroom and skylight windows. This room is ideal for owners' use due to its separation from the guest bedrooms.

The business is fully operating, meaning any buyer could begin trading and generating an income from the first day of ownership.

Outside…
The garden is like a private oasis, with birdsong as the soundtrack. Surrounded by established trees, plants, and shrubs, the insects buzz around the vibrant floral blooms. A tiled patio area covered by a veranda is a lovely area for you or your guests to enjoy a morning coffee before the day gets started.

"The garden is so peaceful, a world away from the nearby city centre."

There is a parking area at the front of the property for 4-5 vehicles, which is excellent news for you and your guests.

Out and about…
Iffley Road is a fantastic location, just on the outskirts of Oxford City Centre, and only a few hundred yards from the world famous Iffley Road track, where Roger Bannister first broke the four minute mile barrier. It is a leafy road filled with substantial properties, including large family homes as well as other hotel and hospitality businesses, and housing for academics and students who attend the highly esteemed university.

There is a strong sense of community. Cafes, bakeries, restaurants, and pubs are all within the local area, and a recently opened yoga studio is nearby. Walk into the city centre - it is a 20-minute stroll - or catch a quick bus from the stop just outside the property.

The Manor House Hotel has been a successful family-run hotel business since the 80s. In recent years, the owners have opted to run this as a lifestyle business as they neared retirement, working very closely with a few large corporate clients but not advertising online - which means there really are so many ways for a new owner to build and develop the business with fantastic growth opportunities.
