Large 10‑bed seafront guesthouse with owner’s flat — investment or conversion potential.
Seafront Victorian terrace with panoramic Cardigan Bay views
A substantial Victorian mid-terrace on South Marine Terrace with direct sea views and established guest-house trading potential. The property extends to about 3,564 sq ft across multiple floors, currently arranged as owners’ accommodation plus ten letting rooms and seven shower rooms — a turnkey proposition for a hospitality operator or investor.
Key commercial strengths are the seafront position overlooking Cardigan Bay, loyal customer base, on-site owners’ flat and rear pedestrian access for deliveries. The building is freehold, double-glazed throughout, mains gas-heated with boiler and radiators, and sold with much of the equipment in situ, allowing immediate re-opening or letting income while longer-term plans are made.
Do note significant commercial and physical considerations. The area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with high crime and very high deprivation metrics — this influences seasonal demand, rental mix and insurance/costs. Conversion into flats or holiday lets will likely require planning permission; no approvals are in place. The building is stone-built pre-1900 with assumed no wall insulation, so thermal upgrades and fabric works may be needed to meet modern standards.
This is best suited to an investor, operator or developer who values seafront exposure and is prepared to manage a working guest house or undertake a planned conversion. The site’s small plot and enclosed terrace form limit external expansion but preserve the sought-after coastal frontage and panoramic views that drive occupancy and future value.
