Summary - Flying Fifteens, 19a Esplanade NR33 0QG
6 bed 6 bath House
Established café and basement bar with immediate trading potential and conversion upside.
Direct beach access and sea-front seating for the tea rooms
A rare mixed-use seafront opportunity on Lowestoft’s Esplanade combining private accommodation with an established tea room and basement bar. The ground-floor tea rooms are offered fully equipped and partially furnished, with direct public access to the beach and a sea-front seating area that extends the hospitality space. The basement Kraken Bar already hosts musical acts and has a growing local following — useful immediate income and footfall.
The first-floor owners’ apartment is comfortable and benefits from a balcony with wide sea views. The top floor has been prepared for conversion into three ensuite letting rooms plus a bathroom, presenting obvious short‑stay or long‑let income potential once finished. Outside there’s ample rear car standing, electric sliding gates, a detached double garage with mezzanine, and a patio garden.
Buyers should weigh clear caveats: the property sits in a very deprived area with very high local crime statistics and a medium flood risk. The building is Victorian solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation in the walls, so energy‑efficiency upgrades and some renovation works are likely. Despite those issues, the freehold, prominent seafront position and existing trading fit-out make this strong for an investor or hospitality entrepreneur prepared to manage local area challenges and carry out targeted improvements.
