Plymouth’s Grade II listed Langdon Court hotel has been put on sale for £1.85million – seven months after it closed with the loss of 20 jobs.
Property consultant Vickery Holman has been appointed by Cheshire-based Together Commercial Finance to handle the sale of the Grade II* listed hotel which was .
The sale of the 16th Century four-star Jacobean manor house hotel, very close to the beach at Wembury, near Plymouth, is expected to attract interest from existing hoteliers, developers or buyers looking for an opportunity to acquire a larger estate near the coast.
The property stands in 10 acres of ground including beautiful gardens, a vineyard, lakes and two cottages in addition to the 19 en-suite bedrooms in the main property.
When owners Heritage Hotels went into administration in December 2019, it was hoped that Langdon Court Hotel could continue to operate as a hotel and wedding venue but that proved not to be the case and the hotel closed in April 2020.
The closure meant 27 weddings had to be cancelled and talks had to be carried out with the new owners of six of the hotel’s rooms which had been sold as “care studios”.
Ollie Steer-Fowler, head of leisure at Vickery Holman, said: “We’re delighted to receive the instructions for the sale of such a stunning and important property for the region.
“Langdon Court has a long history and is well known in the area as an events and dining venue. The property offers plenty of potential to reopen as a high-end hotel and venue.
“Alternatively it’s a prime site for development or would make a wonderful home for anyone looking for an impressive property with atmosphere and land near the coast.”
He added: “There’s so much history attached to Langdon Court. Much of the original Renaissance garden still exists and it has been visited by royalty including Edward Vll. The house was a home for hundreds of years before being turned into a hotel in the 1960s."
