Guide price £880,000 — sale via online auction (buyer’s fees apply)

Strong coastal location with year‑round tourist and local footfall

Set in the heart of West Kirby on Banks Road, this freehold Victorian corner building offers immediate development upside and sea-proximate appeal. Currently a restaurant with separate self-contained apartments, the property is being sold with vacant possession and full planning permission to convert into a 13 en‑suite bedroom hotel with bar and dining kitchen (APP/24/00576).
The site benefits from strong local and tourist footfall, proximity to beaches, Marine Lake and high street amenities, and an affluent, low-crime catchment with excellent mobile and fast broadband. Approved plans and vacant possession reduce planning risk and accelerate a hotel or leisure-led conversion for operators, developers or investors seeking a coastal trading asset.
Buyers should note this is a sold-at-auction lot (guide price £880,000) with buyer’s fees and an administration fee payable on exchange — full legal pack should be read before bidding. The building shows period character but requires roof repair work as referenced, and conversion/refurbishment costs will be needed to deliver the approved hotel specification.
This opportunity suits experienced hotel operators, conversion developers or investors targeting short-stay coastal accommodation or a mixed leisure/residential asset. With planning in place and average local room rates around £130 per night, the site offers a clear route to trading income once works and fit-out are complete.
