Summary - 8 ESPLANADE ROAD PAIGNTON TQ4 6EB
13 bed 1 bath Guest House
Turnkey coastal B&B with separate cottage and 11-space parking, ideal for investor growth.
Freehold Victorian seafront guesthouse with proven 20-year trading record
A rare freehold hospitality opportunity on Paignton’s seafront, offered with a proven trading history. The property comprises the main Victorian terraced guesthouse with 10 letting bedrooms plus owner’s one-bed flat, together with a separate two-bedroom cottage and garage. The business has operated successfully for 20 years with strong online ratings and an 11-space front car park — valuable assets for coastal trading.
Internally the building mixes character features and bright sea-facing rooms with areas showing wear consistent with ongoing trading. Many letting rooms are described as en-suite and recently redecorated; the dining room, guest lounge and commercial kitchen are equipped for current seasonal service. The cottage provides independent owner or lettings income and adds flexibility.
Key commercial strengths include seafront location, excellent transport links, large on-site parking, and clear potential to increase turnover by extending trading beyond the current April–October season. The property is freehold with mains gas, electricity, water and drainage connected.
Important considerations: local data flags very high crime and very high area deprivation which may affect staffing, insurance and some guest perceptions. The listing also notes the property as a Victorian fixer-upper with areas of dated fabric and general wear and tear typical of an active B&B — a measured programme of maintenance or refurbishment will be required. There is a discrepancy in the supplied dataset listing just one bathroom overall; prospective buyers should verify current bathroom counts, licences and statutory compliance before committing.
