5 bed 1 bath Hotel
Large period guest house near Promenade — B&B or short‑let potential, sold as seen.
Victorian four-storey terrace with original features and high ceilings
Short walk (5 minutes) to Blackpool North station and Promenade
Previously six en-suite letting bedrooms; flexible current layout
Self-contained flat plus owners’ accommodation included
Trading currently limited to weekends only
Small plot; on-street setting typical of terraced townhouses
Local area: very deprived with very high crime — operational risk
Conversion to Airbnb/B&B possible subject to approvals
A substantial four-storey Victorian property on Cocker Street, moments from Blackpool Promenade and a five-minute walk to Blackpool North station. The building retains period features—bay windows, high ceilings and decorative moldings—providing character that appeals to short-stay guests.
Currently configured as a mix of guest accommodation and private living: previously six en‑suite letting bedrooms, now arranged as three letting rooms plus a self-contained flat and owners’ accommodation. The property has traded as a guest house (weekends only) and offers clear scope to re-establish a full B&B or convert to short‑let/Airbnb operation subject to necessary approvals.
Practical considerations are important: the plot is small, the local area is very deprived with very high crime rates, and the business currently operates limited trading days — all factors that will affect takings and management overheads. Tenure is unknown and the property will need active hands-on management and likely refurbishment to maximise income potential.
This is a value-driven opportunity for an investor or operator experienced in seaside holiday lets or B&Bs who can manage security and tenancy risks, complete any necessary upgrades and market the accommodation to visitors and short-stay guests.
