Summary - 2, GYNN AVENUE, BLACKPOOL FY1 2LD
5 bed 1 bath Guest House
Large Edwardian B&B with parking and strong prior review score, sold for refurbishment..
Freehold Edwardian corner property near North Shore Promenade
A substantial Edwardian corner guest house immediately off Blackpool North Shore Promenade, offered freehold. The building houses five king-size en suite letting rooms (all fitted with TVs, mini-fridges and hairdryers) plus a currently unused room that could be refurbished into a sixth letting room. Public areas include a large south-facing residents' lounge, separate breakfast/dining room, owner’s double bedroom with private bathroom, basement storage/boiler room and a covered rear yard. Outside there is block-paved side parking for three cars, additional on-street H-bar spaces and a small south-facing walled garden. All mains services and full gas central heating are in place. Previously rated 9.8 on Booking.com, the property offers immediate potential to re-establish a high-quality B&B.
The building requires renovation: one letting room is out of use and needs refitting, and the general fabric will benefit from updating before reopening. The business ceased trading in May 2024 due to the owners’ retirement, so any purchaser should allow time and cost to recommission the operation, rebrand and re-list. The property’s location provides strong seaside appeal and good transport/visitor amenities nearby, but it sits in an area of very high crime and very high deprivation, which will affect operating considerations, insurance and some guest markets.
This is a clear opportunity for an operator or investor able to manage refurbishment and risk. For a new owner-operator or an investor targeting holiday lets or a boutique B&B, the combination of large rooms, high ceilings, a prominent corner position and a prior excellent customer rating make this a solid platform — provided refurbishment, local risk mitigation and marketing are budgeted into the purchase plan.
