HOMEFINDER: Successful guest house near city looks for new owners

Despite the unfortunate fact that a number of guest houses have closed their doors in recent years, the highly successful Edgehill Manor Guest House has survived the ups and downs of tourism and the economy, in part due to providing guests with lovely rooms, exceptional service and warm hospitality.Longtime owner and tourism industry veteran Bridget Marshall is now considering retirement, and recently made the difficult decision to list her successful and immaculately maintained property for sale.Despite the overall downturn in tourism in Bermuda, Edgehill Manor has achieved almost full occupancy this winter; it ordinarily boasts an average occupancy of 70 percent in the off-season and nearly 90 percent occupancy in peak season.The guest house is a preferred location for businesses seeking accommodation for visiting executives, staff or consultants, in part due to its proximity to Hamilton.It also appeals very much to vacationers who like the ‘private home’ feeling of this well-run establishment.Edgehill Manor has maintained an excellent reputation for many years and benefits from a devoted clientele who return again and again to enjoy the comfortable rooms, delicious breakfasts and friendly, helpful staff.The property includes 14 bright, airy and tastefully furnished guest rooms all with bathrooms en suite; three have the added convenience of modern mini-kitchens.All rooms at Edgehill Manor have a refrigerator and microwave oven.There are two staff rooms both with an en suite bathroom and kitchen.The property is on 0.32 acres and overlooks parts of the City of Hamilton.There are two substantial fresh water tanks, Watlington Water, and a well which supplies the toilets.Located on Rosemont Avenue in Pembroke, Edgehill Manor is listed for sale as a going concern with Sole Agent Joy Lusher Real Estate Ltd. at $4.5 million.The list price includes all furnishings, fixtures and fittings and the opportunity to retain the existing staff.Realtor Sue Lusher comments: “With competitive rates and the amenity of a swimming pool, Edgehill Manor Guest House is truly a home away from home for its many guests! It benefits from excellent bookings year-round, both from tourists and business travellers.”Edgehill Manor Guest House” is available to Bermudians only, and listed with Sole Agent Joy Lusher Real Estate Ltd.For further details and to arrange an appointment to view, contact Sue Lusher: sue@joylusher.com c: 333-9138; Beth Gosling: beth@joy lusher.com or 335-3588; Liz Lusher: elusher@logic.bm or 334-8104; or Diana Martin diana@joylusher.com or 337-0226.
