A Grade I listed country house hotel is on the market with the potential to continue as a hospitality business, convert into a luxury residence, or explore alternative commercial uses.
Moresby Hall, a historic 13-bedroom property located on the West Cumbrian coast near Whitehaven, dates back to 1620 and incorporates a pele tower from 1275.
Set within approximately 2 acres of landscaped grounds, it has most recently operated as a successful hotel.
The mansion, on the market with Grisdales for £1.25 million, is accessed via a sweeping driveway and surrounded by attractive gardens.
A summer house on the grounds offers further potential for events or hospitality use, and a walled paddock to the eastern boundary could accommodate future development.
Inside, the property retains many period features, including a grand central staircase, fireplaces and high ceilings.
The entrance hall leads to a newly installed bar area and a spacious dining room.
A commercial kitchen serves the property, and 13 en-suite guest bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors, including three with four-poster beds.
There is potential to create a further two bedrooms on the top floor as a family suite, subject to any necessary consents.
Over the past three years, the restaurant, bar and many of the guest areas have been extensively refurbished, with a number of the bedrooms also updated.
The hotel is equipped with three electric vehicle charging points for guests.
Moresby Hall is marketed as a unique opportunity to acquire a historic building with significant commercial and residential potential.
The listing highlights the versatility of the property, with options for hospitality, private residence or alternative commercial use, subject to the necessary consents.
