Summary - 16 BUREGATE ROAD FELIXSTOWE IP11 2DE
10 bed 8 bath Semi-Detached
10 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms — ready for HMO or guest house use close to the beach.
- Approximately 2,914 sq ft across three floors
A rare, substantial former guest house a short walk from Felixstowe seafront, offered freehold with C1 commercial classification. The Victorian semi-detached building extends to about 2,914 sq ft across three floors and currently provides ten bedrooms, eight bathrooms and three kitchens — a ready-made set-up for HMO use or re‑opening as a guest house. Gas-fired central heating and generally excellent condition reduce immediate capital outlay.
The property sits on a small plot with a modest front garden and balcony detail, characteristic period features and high ceilings in principal rooms. Low flood risk and mains services are connected. Nearby schools and coastal amenities add letting appeal for short-stay guests and longer-term renters.
Important negatives are factual: the building is sold with a C1 commercial use class, so it is not eligible for a standard residential mortgage; purchasers will need suitable commercial/portfolio finance. The area records higher local crime and deprivation measures, and the plot is small with limited external space. The property has not traded as a guest house for two years and any re-opening will require compliance checks, current licensing and possibly refurbishment of tenant or guest spaces.
Overall, this is a straightforward purchase for investors or operators seeking a seaside HMO or guest house opportunity with immediate scale and income potential, provided buyers accept the commercial classification and undertake the necessary regulatory and local-area due diligence.
