Energy Rating C; built 1937 — period features and maintenance considerations
Standing prominently on Bridlington’s North Marine Drive, The Expanse Hotel is a substantial Art Deco seafront property with 44 en suite bedrooms, 15 apartments in total and extensive public event spaces. Its rooftop terrace, panoramic bay views and large function rooms create obvious appeal for hospitality use or a conversion project subject to planning permission (STPP).
The building closed recently and will require recommissioning before re-opening as a hotel; the extent of refurbishment is not specified. The freehold includes car parking for about 10 vehicles, additional public promenade parking, and a site of approximately 0.61 acres — rare scale on this part of the Yorkshire coast.
This is a clear opportunity for an investor or developer: the property’s size, location and multiple income streams (holiday lets, AST apartments and hotel accommodation) offer flexibility. Buyers should factor in refurbishment costs, compliance upgrades and planning processes if pursuing alternative uses.
Practical points: the property was built in 1937, holds an energy rating of C and sits outside flood risk. It occupies a high-profile seaside position in a town reliant on tourism, with local amenities, public transport and nearby schools.
