Summary - 131 LONGWESTGATE SCARBOROUGH YO11 1RQ
7 bed 7 bath Guest House
Imposing seven-bedroom Grade II listed guest house with sea views and private walled garden.
Grade II listed Regency town house with strong coastal character
Tall Storeys is an imposing Grade II listed Regency town house in Longwestgate, Scarborough, offered freehold as a seven-bedroom guest house with strong sea views. The property includes five en-suite letting rooms, two additional dormer rooms, and a single-storey rear annex providing private owner accommodation and direct access to a south-facing walled garden. The layout across lower ground, ground and three upper floors plus basement-style service areas supports continued guest-house use or conversion to alternative hospitality formats (subject to listed-building constraints).
The house retains period character—sash windows, high ceilings and red-brick façade—creating clear appeal for coastal holiday lets or boutique B&B trading. Practical assets include mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, fast broadband and a sizeable overall floor area (circa 2,751 sq ft) on a decent plot. The property’s location delivers harbour and South Bay views and immediate access to town amenities and tourism footfall.
Buyers should note material limitations: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and can complicate upgrades or extensions. The building predates 1900 and walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, so further energy improvements will be restricted and potentially costly; the current EPC rating is E. The surrounding area has high crime levels and marked deprivation indices, and the local market is described as constrained renters/hampered aspiration—factors that affect longer-term rental yields and staff recruitment for hospitality.
For an investor or owner-operator comfortable working within listed-building rules, this property offers immediate trading potential, strong coastal character and an owner-annexe for on-site management. For buyers seeking a modern, low-maintenance freehold, the building will require ongoing conservation-sensitive upkeep and budget for energy and compliance works.
