A spacious, seven-bedroom Victorian guest house on Torquay’s popular Belgrave Road, a short walk from Torre Abbey Sands and the seafront. The property spans over 3,000 sq ft and has been refurbished to a high standard throughout, with themed en-suite letting rooms, a sizeable owners’ 1–2 bedroom apartment and private rear parking for three cars. Energy rating B, secondary glazing and a new boiler reduce immediate capital expenditure on plant and glazing.
Trading performance is a clear strength: the business reports strong repeat bookings and steady onward reservations, making the house well suited to an operator or investor wanting an established seaside guest house. The themed rooms, complimentary Wi‑Fi and guest library add to its appeal for holiday lets and short-stay visitors.
Buyers should note material local considerations. The property sits in an area described as very deprived with very high recorded crime levels; these factors may influence insurance costs, staffing and some guest perceptions. The building is mid-terrace on a small plot and constructed before 1900, so long-term maintenance and periodic conservation-style works may be required despite the recent refurbishment.
Overall this freehold trading guest house offers immediate income potential from a proven operation in a prime tourist pocket of the English Riviera, but it suits buyers who understand practical management issues tied to the location and historic build type.
