A "fully-functional" Wirral hotel and restaurant is on the market offering house hunters the chance to bag a 13 bedroom detached home.
Formerly the Hollins Hey Hotel, on Victoria Street in New Brighton, the four storey mansion is listed by Purplebricks who suggest it could lend itself to multiple occupancy living, creating around 12 apartments.
Priced at £695,000, the property comes with a large plot of land including gardens and enough parking space for 20 vehicles.

The Rightmove listing says: "A unique and potential development opportunity to purchase a large Victorian detached dwelling, currently laid out over four floors as a fully functional hotel, bar, restaurant and function suite, with thirteen en-suite bedrooms.
"The plot sits between Albion Street & Victoria Road and is surrounded by residential properties.
"Subject to planning permission being granted, the plot would be ideal for residential housing or flats."
On the ground floor, there's an industrial kitchen, restaurant room with capacity to host up to 60 guests, and a function suite that could accommodate a further 150.
The remaining three floors offer 13 en-suite bedrooms and uninterrupted stunning sea views.

In 2018, plans to bulldoze the building were rejected by Wirral Council.
As a result, the hotel will remain open and taking bookings until it is sold.
A developer wanted to demolish and replace it with 14 “high quality contemporary” apartments with glass and marble finishing.
Wirral Council’s written decision to refuse planning permission said: “The proposed development, by reason of its design, size and siting, would have a negative and detrimental impact upon the character of the adjacent buildings and the appearance of the wider street scene.
“The proposal would result in an unneighbourly form of development in that it would lead to overshadowing of the adjoining dwellings by reason of its size, height and siting.”
