Summary - BAY HOUSE, 9 ESPLANADE ROAD SCARBOROUGH YO11 2AS
11 bed 10 bath Commercial Property
Freehold seafront opportunity with planning for multiple holiday lets.
Victorian seafront property with panoramic South Bay views
Bay House is a striking Victorian property on Esplanade Road with panoramic South Bay sea views and immediate access to the Cliff Lift, Spa and beach. The building combines ornate period detail — high ceilings, sash windows, fireplaces and decorative cornicing — with full-fibre broadband and recent safety checks, making it well placed for visitor accommodation or multi-generational living.
Full planning permission exists to create five holiday-let units plus three bed & breakfast rooms at the rear; the first floor work is already completed and the lower-ground one-bedroom apartment has consent to convert to two bedrooms. One one-bedroom apartment is currently let/available, and the layout has been prepared to blend private living with short‑term rental revenue potential.
Notable positives include the freehold tenure, mains gas central heating, two gas fireplaces installed in 2023, an EICR issued in 2023, and plentiful demand from Scarborough’s established tourism market. On-street parking with a low-cost residents’ permit and a quiet one-way street support guest turnover without extensive vehicle infrastructure.
Material considerations are stated plainly: crime levels in the area are above average, and minor asbestos material remains on the lower ground floor following 2013 remediation — currently considered safe if undisturbed but requiring professional management if altered. The lower-ground apartment needs the approved conversion to reach its full revenue potential, and some rooms will need finishing to operate as holiday lets and B&B rooms in line with the planning consent.
