Summary - East Cliff, Dover, Kent, CT16 CT16 1LX
9 bed 2 bath Terraced
Nine-bedroom terraced property with sea views and separate basement — strong rental potential.
Nine bedrooms, two en-suite; previously used as Bed & Breakfast
A substantial nine-bedroom Victorian terraced house with clear investment potential just under Dover Castle and close to Dover Port. The property was previously run as a bed & breakfast and includes two functional kitchens, three reception rooms, two en-suite bedrooms and a sea-view balcony — features that support short-stay, HMO or multi-let options. Basement accommodation has separate access, increasing flexibility for self-contained units or independent guest suites.
Practical positives include off-street parking, a charming garden, freehold tenure and no flood risk. Large windows and high ceilings give the main reception rooms strong natural light and attractive sea views from upper rooms and a glazed reception. The location benefits from excellent mobile and fast broadband connectivity and nearby transport links to the port and town centre.
Buyers should factor in material considerations: the property sits in a deprived area with a high local crime rate, and council tax band F will affect operating costs. The building’s previous commercial use and age (Victorian/period features) mean refurbishment, reconfiguration and modern compliance works (services, safety certificates, and energy improvements) may be needed before re-letting or resale. All services and appliances are untested, and purchasers should obtain their own surveys and legal checks.
For an investor or operator able to manage refurbishment and ongoing running costs, this house offers a rare central Dover asset with multiple income routes — from continuing boutique B&B use and holiday lets to conversion into HMOs or self-contained flats (subject to consents). Its size, separate basement access and sea-view rooms are the main value drivers; budget for upgrades and management to realise returns.
