A substantial double-fronted Victorian hotel positioned on the corner of Pleasant Street and Braithwaite Street, a short walk from the Promenade and Blackpool North station. The property offers 20 letting bedrooms (described as en suite), passenger lift to all floors, and a self-contained two-bedroom owners’ flat — features that suit continued Bed & Breakfast trading or conversion to a higher-yield letting model.
The current owners operate with limited openings, reporting turnover around £32,000; this constrained trading pattern means clear scope to increase income through extended season trading, online marketing or repositioning for group, student, or short-stay visitors. Practical strengths include off-street parking for six cars plus a rear yard, central heating, double glazing, and an L2 alarm system.
Buyers should note material negatives: the local area registers very high crime and very high deprivation, and much of the public accommodation is described as dated (1980s wallpaper, carpets) and in need of modernisation. The property is in a cosmopolitan, student-orientated neighbourhood which can influence demand patterns. There is conflicting listing data on bathroom count — the full description states 20 en suite bedrooms, while summary fields list a single bathroom; prospective purchasers should verify service and room specifications.
This property suits an investor or operator who can commit to upgrading public areas and marketing to unlock better occupancy, or someone seeking a refurbishment project with seaside location advantages. The building’s size, location and existing servicing (lift, alarm, parking) provide a practical platform for growth, but realistic plans must factor in neighbourhood challenges and likely refurbishment costs.
