For sale by public auction

We are pleased to present The Clayton, previously used as a charming guest house located on the picturesque Grove Road in the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. This unique property offers an excellent opportunity for both commercial and residential use, subject to necessary planning permissions.

The Clayton boasts a versatile layout with seven bedrooms and bathrooms, with five of the bedrooms benefiting from shower ensuite. The communal areas include a well-appointed bathroom, a spacious lounge room, and a dining kitchen that caters to the needs of multiple occupants. Additionally, there is a self-contained owners' flat comprising a cozy lounge, utility room, bathroom, and bedroom, providing a private retreat for the property owners.

Commercial and Residential Potential: Currently set up as a guest house, The Clayton primarily serves as a commercial property with residential accommodation for the owners. This setup makes it ideal for those looking to operate a bed and breakfast or a boutique guest house. For those considering converting the entire property into a residential dwelling or an HMO, please be advised that planning permission would be required to make such changes.

The Clayton is situated in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon, a town renowned for its rich history and as the birthplace of William Shakespeare. This prime location ensures visibility, essential for a successful guest house business. The property is conveniently located near major transport links, including the Stratford-upon-Avon railway station, providing direct access to Birmingham and London. The nearby A46 and M40 motorways offer excellent road connectivity, making the property easily accessible for both local and international visitors.
