UK: The Grade II-listed La Fleur De Lys Resort & Restaurant in Shaftesbury, Dorset is being marketed Colliers for ₤ 1,445,000.
Located on Bleke Street, the home consists of a lounge bar with eight double guest bedrooms and a 46-cover, 2 AA-rosette dining establishment.
It remains on the previous site of Shaftesbury Abbey, which was founded in 888 by King Alfred. Adjacent to the abbey site is Gold Hill, a steep cobbled street made use of in the 1970s as the setting for Ridley Scott’s television ad for Hovis bread.
The current resort proprietor David Griffin-Shepard and his partner opened up La Fleur De Lys dining establishment in 1991. 12 years later, the couple got what was the Sunridge House B&B and carried out restorations to change the website right into La Fleur De Lys Hotel & Restaurant.
Griffin-Shepard claimed: “After 31 fantastic years selling Shaftesbury, we have chosen to market the residential property to spend even more time with our grandchildren. We’ve been fortunate to have run an effective organization in such a gorgeous part of the world, and now feel that the moment is right to slow down.”
Ed Jefferson from Colliers’ resorts company group said: “La Fleur de Lys Hotel & Restaurant is in a beautiful location in a prime Dorset community, benefitting from several locations of profit potential, such as a generous size lounge, restaurant and also bar, eight allowing bed rooms and also a courtyard that can be used for events. We are hoping to discover a financier that wishes to more develop business as well as love the hotel as high as David, Mary and Marc have more than the last 3 decades.”
