Summary - 51 ESPLANADE ROAD SCARBOROUGH YO11 2AT
10 bed 8 bath Semi-Detached
Large period property near South Bay, ideal for holiday-let income.
Ten bedrooms, eight bathrooms — former guest house layout
A substantial Victorian semi-detached residence on Scarborough’s South Cliff, currently arranged and presented as a successful guest house. The building retains strong period character — high ceilings, bay windows, original timber floors and decorative cornices — alongside modernised bathrooms and a fitted kitchen. Its layout includes a ground-floor guest lounge and dining room, separate owners’ accommodation, and ten letting bedrooms most with ensuite facilities.
This property suits an investor or holiday-lettings operator seeking a turn-key seaside business or a buyer wanting a large multi-room home with conversion potential. The footprint and circulation space are generous (approximately 3,963 sq ft and around 29 rooms), and the site includes off-street parking to the front and a hardstanding yard to the rear. Location is a key asset: an easy walk to the Esplanade, South Bay beach, South Cliff Gardens and town centre amenities.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, low flood risk and a very low council tax band. The rear outdoor space is modest and the property is in a built-up area with above-average local crime rates. While presented well, the building’s age and scale mean ongoing maintenance and compliance with HMO/guest-house regulations should be factored in by a prospective operator.
Overall this is a prominent period property in a prime Scarborough location, offering immediate income potential for holiday or guest-let use, or scope for conversion into apartments subject to planning. Buyers should budget for typical upkeep and ensure any commercial use aligns with local licensing and safety requirements.
