The premises comprise a free standing single storey brick built property with rendered and painted external walls under a pitched and tiled roof. The main car park is located on the east side of the property with some additional parking and service areas to the front and to the western side of the property. The property sits within a total site area of 0.25 hectares (0.60 acres). The hotel comprises bar, function suite, 5 rooms (not ensuite), large commercial kitchen, 2 bathrooms, resident’s lounge and cellar. The premises are in need of refurbishment if they are to be retained for licensed use, but it is believed that the whole site has significant development potential, particularly for residential or commercial.
Location
Port Seton is situated on the coast of the Firth of Forth located to the east of Edinburgh and 4 miles north‐east of Musselburgh.
Port Seton is a unified town with Cockenzie, but administratively it is now within the unitary Council region of East Lothian. Port Seton is a holiday resort with the Seton Sands Beach and Holiday Park, but was originally a fishing and salt making village until the end of the 19th century, although some fishing still goes on. More recently it has become more of a dormitory town for nearby Edinburgh with a number of recent residential developments and many more planned. The population at the 2001 census was 4,493, but is now around 5,500. The subject premises are situated on a main road in the heart of Port Seton, adjacent to the Co‐op supermarket. The surrounding area is mixed with local commercial and residential with some small hotels and guest houses and the nearby Holiday Park which derive their trade from a mixture of commercial and tourism. There are also several historical
and tourist attractions within a fairly close radius.
