The West End Hotel is a Category B Listed building, which has its accommodation spread over five main levels. It has been refurbished to an exceptional standard and was developed with a great eye for detail. It could also very easily be converted back into a prestigious private residence, subject to the correct planning application.

The main entrance leads into the hallway, which would be the entrance for guests. To the left is the open-plan bar and dining area which utilises the full depth of the property, and the bar area is capable of holding 25 patrons to the front, while the casual dining area holds 30 covers.

At lower ground level is the communal kitchen for guests staying on a self-catering basis and there is an adjoining dining area for ten people to use at one time. Next to this is a guests’ laundry with coin operated machines.

There is a total of ten bedrooms/dormitories which could sleep up to 66 people. The bedrooms are located at first, second and third floor levels. There are communal shower room facilities on the first floor for guests in the non en suite dormitories.

In terms of storage, housekeeping stores are on the upper levels, there is a boiler room in the garden level extension, under pavement stores to the front including beer cellar. At the rear of the property there is a small townhouse garden and terrace area.
