Specialist hotel property adviser Christie & Co has been instructed to market Stanhill Court Hotel, a 59-bedroom Victorian Country Manor House and one of the most sought-after wedding reception venues in Surrey.
Situated equidistant between the A24 and M23 and Crawley, Stanhill Court Hotel has excellent links to central London, Brighton and Gatwick Airport (4 miles), making it an ideal location for commuters and corporate guests.
The hotel is also within close proximity to attractions such as the Surrey Hills and Chessington World of Adventures, making it equally popular with families and tourists.
The hotel features 59 ensuite bedrooms and extensive function and meeting facilities up to 360, catering for a range of corporate guests, as well as private events and functions.
The hotel sits on grounds of approximately 35 acres, including landscaped gardens, a 1-acre amphitheatre and picturesque views over the South Downs.
Given the acreage of the site, there are a number of value enhancement opportunities (subject to planning permission) identified by the current owners, including the development of a conservatory, spa, eco-lodges and PV Array, subject to obtaining statutory planning permission.
Ed Bellfield, regional hotel director at Christie & Co, who is handling the sale, said: “This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-performing hotel with excellent links to London and Gatwick airport.
“The range of development opportunities present exciting potential for a new owner to improve the hotel facilities and create a destination venue of scale and character.
“The property is available on a long leasehold basis benefitting from the Affiliation Agreement with Radisson Individuals, along with offering a number of options for value enhancement opportunities.”
The hotel is being sold long leasehold off a guide price of £7,975,000.
