Substantial character building with strong rental and holiday-let potential.
Large footprint: 6,565 sqft (GIA) on 0.212-acre plot
Set on Bede Street in Amble, this substantial former working men’s club offers a rare coastal conversion opportunity. The building’s stone and brick Edwardian character, high-ceilinged commercial spaces and generous footprint (6,565 sq ft; 0.212 acres) create strong scope for residential or mixed-use schemes aimed at holiday lets, rental homes or sale units.
A pre-planning application has been submitted proposing conversion to nine residential units across the site (four 2-bed flats, one 2-bed cottage and three 2-bed houses to the south). Main services are connected, heating is gas boiler to radiators and the current building holds an EPC C rating—useful for refurbishment planning. The location benefits from Amble’s growing seaside market, local amenities, good schools nearby and easy coastal access, supporting lettings or holiday accommodation demand.
Important practical points: the property is offered freehold via online auction and the site is currently unregistered; buyers must consult the legal pack and be comfortable with auction terms. The planning status is pre-application only—not an approved consent—so conversion will require formal permissions and likely building works. The historic stone walls are assumed uninsulated and some refurbishment (insulation, internal reconfiguration, services upgrade and external maintenance) should be expected to meet current standards.
For investors and developers seeking a character asset in an affluent, seaside town, this building presents a substantial canvas with realistic value-add potential. Serious bidders should allow budget and time for statutory consents, conversion works and title regularisation before occupancy or resale.
