Substantial former guest house with C1 commercial classification and 10 bedrooms across approximately 2,914 sq ft — set close to Felixstowe seafront. The building is described in excellent condition with gas-fired central heating, three kitchens and multiple bathrooms, offering immediate scope for HMO conversion, continued guest-house use or short-stay accommodation. Its size and existing layout reduce conversion time and cost for an investor targeting holiday lets or multiple-occupancy rental.
Important practical points: the property is sold freehold as a commercial premises only, so residential mortgages are not available. The area is classified as deprived with higher local crime levels and a small plot size; these are factors to weigh against rental yield and management overheads. The property has not traded as a guest house for the last two years but benefited from strong demand before closing.
For an investor or operator, the location near shops, leisure and the beach is a commercial advantage that supports lettings, especially short-stay and HMO demand. The building’s Victorian exterior and high ceilings add character that can be marketed to guests. Conversely, expect additional management attention and possibly security or insurance costs because of the local crime profile and area deprivation.
Viewing is advised to assess the layout and finish for your intended use. The property presents a rare, near-seafront investment with immediate trading potential, provided buyers accept commercial-only purchase conditions and factor in local area challenges.
