Summary - 19A ESPLANADE LOWESTOFT NR33 0QG
6 bed 5 bath House
Established tea room, bar and letting rooms with strong passing trade potential.
- Prominent seafront position with direct access to the Esplanade
A rare seafront investment with immediate trading potential, this Victorian mid-terrace mixes commercial income and private living under one roof. Ground-floor tea rooms with external seating open directly onto Lowestoft Esplanade, while the basement operates as a bar/function room; fixtures, equipment and some furniture are included. The top floor currently provides four letting rooms ideal for holiday or longer-term rental, and the mid floor offers private live-in accommodation with double balconies and outstanding sea views.
The building is freehold, substantial in footprint (approx. 1,798 sq ft internal) and includes a double garage, rear patio garden and off-street parking behind electric gates. Constructed before 1900 with many period features — bay windows, high ceilings and a large basement — it suits an operator or investor who wants an established seafront trading location with multiple income streams and change-of-use possibilities.
Buyers should note clear material considerations: the property sits in a very deprived area with very high local crime and a medium flood risk. The solid brick walls were likely built without modern cavity insulation, and the age and mixed commercial/residential use mean fire, health & safety, and licensing checks will be required. Prospective purchasers should allow for ongoing maintenance and potential upgrade costs when budgeting.
For the right purchaser this is a flexible asset — continue as tea rooms/bar plus holiday rooms, expand holiday lets, convert further to hotel use, or explore alternative commercial/residential mixes subject to consents. The prominent seafront position and existing trading fit-out reduce lead-in time to revenue, but buyers must balance that against location-related risks and regulatory compliance.
