The Green, Dadlington, CV13 £895,000

Ambion Court Hotel is a seven guest bedroom Country Hotel in the village of Daddington in Leicestershire. The property is very well known locally and offers huge potential to continue as a hotel, or fully convert into private residential accommodation. Ambion Court was converted 40 years ago from an early 19th century Farm and overlooks the village green. The hotel was named after Ambion Hill where the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 was initially believed to have taken place. King Richard III was defeated by the Future King Henry the 7th in that battle, but recent research established that the Battle actually occurred a mile west of Dadlington. The two kings are now honoured by the near completed and impressive Bosworth 1485 trail. This unique property blends today's high expectations with yesterday's rustic charm. The stuccoed walls wooden beams and exposed brickwork give the building a traditional feel. Currently, there are seven guest bedrooms, all have ensuite. Six of the rooms can accommodate two guests each and the seventh will take three. Two of the bedrooms are upstairs and what was the old hayloft and they have views across the village green. One of these rooms is the magnificent Pine Room which is perfect for those special occasions. The remaining five bedrooms are in attractively converted Stables with individual access from the rooms to the enclosed courtyard.
