Summary - 41-43 The Esplanade,WEYMOUTH,DT4 8DH DT4 8DH
1 bed 1 bath Retail Property (high street)
Large Victorian shell unit with strong tourism potential and rental income.
Prime Weymouth seafront location with panoramic sea views
A rare seafront retail freehold on Weymouth’s Esplanade, this Grade II listed former public house benefits from panoramic sea views and prominent bay-windowed frontage. The unit is offered as a shell, split into two lettable sections, making it attractive for an investor seeking a large hospitality or retail presence with immediate visibility to tourists and local footfall.
The property is sold freehold with a 999-year lease option and a guide rent of £25,000 per annum for Unit B. An external terrace has historically been used for alfresco dining under a council pavement licence — the space is not owned and use is subject to licence renewal. VAT will be payable in addition to the price.
Material considerations are straightforward: the building is Grade II listed, so alterations will require listed-building consent and may limit scope and increase costs. The unit is currently a shell with only the bar servery remaining, so substantial refurbishment and fit-out will be needed to trade. The immediate area records high crime and very high deprivation statistics, which may affect evening trading and tenant mix outside peak tourist season.
For the right investor, the combination of beachfront location, large internal space (c.1,739 sq ft) and clear hospitality pedigree offers strong upside once restored and properly marketed to summer tourists and local leisure operators. Professional conservation advice and a tight cost plan for works are recommended before committing to purchase or lease.
