Large Victorian guest house with sea views and seven ensuites — strong trading potential for an investor.
Seven ensuite guest bedrooms across three floors
Hastings House is a substantial Victorian townhouse in Warrior Square, offered as a freehold guest house with seven ensuite letting rooms and a self-contained two-bedroom owner’s apartment. The property combines period proportions and high ceilings with individually styled rooms and sea views, presented largely ready to operate with most fixtures and furnishings included. Its location a short walk from St Leonards Warrior Square station and the seafront supports strong visitor demand.
The building suits an investor or operator seeking an income-generating boutique guest house or someone wanting to increase yield by converting the lower-ground owner’s apartment into additional letting accommodation. There is scope for seasonal diversification (events, small gallery or co-working use) subject to local zoning and licensing.
Buyers should be aware of several operational and maintenance considerations. Broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect guest satisfaction and online bookings. The local area records higher crime and is classed as very deprived, which can influence booking rates and insurance costs. Construction details indicate system-built walls with no assumed insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements and targeted refurbishment may be required to improve comfort and running costs despite the current EPC rating of C (56).
Overall this is a characterful, large freehold opportunity in a prime seaside square, offering immediate trading potential and clear upside through modest investment in fabric and services.
