Local developers buy Cromer seafront hotel
A Victorian hotel in a prominent location on the Cromer seafront in Norfolk has been sold to local developers.
Glen Bishop and Tim Coates bought the four-storey Anglia Court hotel off an asking price of £550,000.
The property on the main Runton Road overlooks the sea, the esplanade and the pier and is a short walk from Cromer city centre.
It has 30 bedrooms spread over the top three floors, most with a view of the sea.
The hotel attracts local, commercial and leisure guests and has a good trade mix of bar food and accommodation.
It incorporates a 35-seat lounge bar, a 30-seat residents' lounge, a 20-seat restaurant, a 60-seat function and breakfast room, and a 20-seat patio at the front.
The basement contains a two-bedroom owners' accommodation with a lounge and shower room.
The Ipswich office Christie + Co sold the hotel on behalf of Alphonsus Tan, who bought the hotel through the property agent in 2001.
