Summary - BAY HOUSE, 9 ESPLANADE ROAD SCARBOROUGH YO11 2AS
11 bed 10 bath Terraced
Large income-focused property with planning for multiple holiday lets.
Panoramic South Bay sea views from upper floors
Bay House is a substantial Victorian seafront terrace with panoramic South Bay views and strong holiday-let credentials. The property already contains a one-bedroom apartment and the first floor arranged as a holiday-let; full planning permission is in place to create five further holiday lets plus three bed-and-breakfast rooms, and the lower-ground apartment has consent to convert to two bedrooms. Period features include high ceilings, sash windows, fireplaces, cornicing and carved stonework, complemented by modern kitchen fittings and two recently installed gas fireplaces.
This layout suits investors, boutique hospitality operators or multigenerational families seeking an income-generating coastal base. The Esplanade position is minutes from South Bay Beach, the Spa, Cliff Lift and local attractions, supporting high seasonal demand for short-term lets. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the property benefits from mains gas heating and a recent EICR (2023).
Buyers should note this is a large, multi-level building presented for a commercial/residential conversion use. There is on-street parking only (residents permit available) and a garage at the rear; private garden space is modest. Vendor-advised information confirms asbestos remediation in 2013 but minor material remains in the lower ground floor and should be left undisturbed or further managed. Crime in the area is above average; purchasers should factor this into lettings and staffing plans.
Overall, Bay House offers a rare seafront development opportunity with planning already secured for multiple holiday-let units. It requires active management and some further works to complete the consented scheme, but the site’s location and character features underpin its strong income potential in Scarborough’s busy tourism market.
