Hotel Property For Sale

The West End Hotel has a prominent trading location on the A71 in the centre of West Calder. West Calder is approximately 17 miles west of Edinburgh and 3 miles west of the New Town of Livingston. This location allows easy access along the A71 into western Edinburgh whilst its closeness to Livingston allows easy access east and west on the M8 motorway to both Glasgow and Edinburgh.

This is a semi-detached property with accommodation over ground, first floor and attic level with extensions to the rear. There are two main entrances – a doorway into the hotel premises and a separate doorway into the former public bar.

The property and former business has been in our clients family ownership since 2005. Our clients have run the property as a family business for several years, boasting strong levels of turnover and profits. In more recent years our clients let the property to a number of different tenants; this ended with the closure of the business over a year ago.

The property has not opened or traded since this time and it should be noted that the property is in need of significant capital expenditure in order to return the West End Hotel into a trading business. This has been reflected in the pricing of the property. Additionally, the premises licence is still in place and remains for any new owner.

It is strongly felt that the property has potential for significant alternative use of full residential development or part-residential and retail/licenced development on the ground floor. This, of course, would be subject to Local Authority planning consent.
