A luxurious hotel once owned by the renowned former Leeds football player, John Charles, is now up for sale at £5.5 million.
The Gomersal Park Hotel offers a grand total of 86 ensuite rooms, complete with a spa, bar and grill, and spacious event spaces.
John Charles, the legendary Welsh footballer who passed away in 2004 at the age of 72, was famously skilled as both a centre-forward and centre-back during his illustrious career.
Certain sections of this expansive hotel, located on the outskirts of West Yorkshire, have historical origins dating back to the 1800s.
The splendid property covers an impressive five acres and provides ample space with 150 car parking spots, conveniently situated near Junction 26 of the M62 motorway.
The bar and grill area offer a capacious setting for up to 100 guests, while the hotel also boasts a variety of conference rooms suitable for meetings, weddings, and events. The largest suite can accommodate up to 200 people.
Throughout the current financial year, the property has already hosted 50 weddings, and many more have pre-booked the venue for weddings in the coming year.
The hotel features a magnificent heated swimming pool, a sauna, and a mud Rasul steam room. For additional relaxation and pampering, guests can enjoy an open-air spa bath, a nail bar, and eight individual treatment and beauty rooms.
Listed with Christie & Co estate agents for £5.5 million, the hotel’s turnover to the end of April 2023 was £2.65 million, with profits amounting to approximately £366,000.
The hotel’s description reads: “Dating back in parts to the 1800s, Gomersal Park Hotel was at one point owned by Leeds United footballing legend John Charles. Purchased by our seller client in 1982 as a 50 bedroom hotel, it was later extended in the early 2000s with the addition of a further 50 bedrooms. However, in 2015, fourteen of the existing rooms were utilised to make way for the superb Dream Spa, one of the finest in the north.”
Strategically located a few miles from Junction 26 or 27 of the M62 corridor, the Gomersal Park Hotel benefits from its proximity to major conurbations such as Leeds Bradford and Greater Manchester. The hotel enjoys a steady stream of local and visitor trade due to the vast surrounding population and thriving commercial centre. Additionally, the nearby Peak District National Park and various tourist attractions contribute to healthy leisure-related business for the hotel.
John Charles, who also made a significant impact playing for the prestigious Italian club Juventus, made 308 appearances for Leeds and scored an impressive 160 goals. His remarkable talent earned him 38 caps for Wales, with 15 goals to his name.
