"Ascot House Hotel historically had an excellent reputation as a hospitality business.

"The function areas and restaurant offer an opportunity to maximise additional income streams.
"The hotel has 19 bedrooms, a restaurant, function/meeting space and offers a lot more property/accommodation than the traditional B&Bs in the town."
The property is set over two levels on the ground floor, with a grand entrance hall leading to the reception area, breakfast room, and restaurant.
A hallway leads to the office and the function rooms.

Guest accommodation is spread across the ground, first, and second floors, with rooms varying in size and style.
The hotel also benefits from a private car park at the front and side of the property, permit access parking on the road outside of the hotel, and a terrace area with seating.

There are further options for the future of the site.
The spokesperson for Christies added: "There is also the opportunity for a new owner to convert the hotel into a more hands-off accommodation business, such as an aparthotel or limited staff offering.
"Subject to planning permission the property has alternative uses including residential."
