Giffard House, a five-star boutique hotel in the ancient cathedral city of Winchester, has been brought to the market through specialist business property adviser Christie & Co.
Situated on Christchurch Road and within half a mile of the city, Giffard House occupies an impressive, detached Victorian property, benefitting from a residents’ sitting room, conservatory bar, dining room and 13 en-suite letting rooms. The building has undergone significant refurbishment over the past 22 years of ownership to have a ‘wow factor’ while retaining a welcoming and cosy feel.
Christie & Co is seeking £3.4 million for the freehold interest of Giffard House, which also features considerable outside space with a large mature garden to the rear with a terrace for al-fresco dining, in addition to a gated gravel driveway with parking for 14 vehicles to the side and a double garage. A one bedroom annex with a lounge and kitchen, currently utilised as owner’s accommodation, is accessible through the garden.
The 5 Star Gold AA Award business provides high-end accommodation in a tranquil setting. The business enjoys significant repeat custom from corporate guests, national and international leisure guests visiting the city, as well as Winchester College and Winchester University parents during school term times.
Ed Bellfield, regional director at Christie & Co’s Winchester office is handling the sale and commented: “Giffard House represents a great opportunity to acquire a highly regarded and popular business in a beautiful city which has considerable opportunity to grow."
