A substantial 19th-century former hotel and restaurant occupying approximately 27,318 sq ft (2,538 sq m) on Paignton's main seafront promenade. The site includes a large adjoining car park, sea-facing position overlooking The Green and immediate asset-management potential to re-let or operate in its current format. The guide price of £975,000 equates to a low capital value of £35.69 per sq ft, presenting a value-led acquisition for a buyer able to manage refurbishment or redevelopment.
Major development upside exists subject to requisite planning and listed/heritage consents; the building is vacant and will require a full programme of works before reoccupation. The tenure is unknown and should be confirmed, and the property will need surveys to clarify condition, services, and any structural or conservation constraints. Flood risk is very low, and the site benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
The immediate location is highly prominent and accessible: short walks to the pier, beach, station (Paignton Station 0.4 miles), town centre and local amenities. Commercial purchasers should note the local context — very high crime levels and very deprived area classification — which will influence lettability, insurance costs and management strategies. This opportunity suits investors or developers prepared to take a hands-on approach to refurbishment, change-of-use or phased redevelopment.
