Dunselma is a three-storey, bay‑fronted Victorian guest house occupying a prime seafront position on Bexhill’s promenade. The freehold sale includes seven ensuite letting rooms, a self-contained one‑bed owner’s apartment with courtyard garden, and all fixtures and furnishings (subject to confirmation). The property benefits from strong trading history, good online reputation and easy access to the beach, De La Warr Pavilion, town amenities and the railway station.
Internally the building offers generous room proportions, high ceilings and a traditional period character combined with modern convenience (ensuites, digital TVs, guest facilities). Trading to March 2025 shows turnover of £82,810 with EBITDA of £46,805, and the venue holds licences required for trading. EPC band C (61).
Notable practical points: external amenity space is small (raised forecourt and courtyard only), and the area records high crime and very high deprivation indices which may affect insurance or staffing considerations. Business rates use a rateable value of £10,000. Prospective buyers should verify the inclusion list of fixtures and request full trading accounts and licence documentation prior to offer.
This property suits lifestyle operators or investors seeking a coastal guest house with immediate trading potential and room to grow revenue through marketing, seasonal yield management or modest enhancement of communal spaces. While the seafront location drives demand, assess local operational risks (crime levels, staffing, and limited private outdoor amenity) as part of due diligence.
