Turnkey 5-star B&B with strong seasonal trading and conversion potential.
Prominent seafront Edwardian building with panoramic bay views
Situated on Scarborough’s North Bay promenade, this four-storey Edwardian guest house delivers genuine seafront presence and panoramic coastal views across the bay. The property currently operates as a 5-star-rated bed & breakfast with 10 guest en-suite letting rooms plus separate owner’s accommodation, commercial kitchen and ancillary spaces — a turnkey trading proposition for an experienced operator.
Trading figures show strong seasonal turnover for the building’s size, reported between £179k–£219k across recent years, with high online ratings backing consistent demand. Practical benefits include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a rateable value that has qualified the business for 100% business rates relief.
The building’s location, scale and layout also present clear value‑add potential: continued hotel use, refurbishment to enhance yield, or conversion to multi-let residential subject to planning and listed/terrace constraints. Note the footprint is substantial for a terraced property but external private amenity is limited to public lawn and promenade access — there is no private garden.
Important considerations: the immediate neighbourhood records high crime and very high area deprivation statistics, and the local area profile leans toward cosmopolitan student and migrant-family communities. Tenure is recorded as unknown in the supplied particulars, and any change of use or redevelopment would require the relevant consents.
