Summary - SANDCASTLES GUEST HOUSE, 17 TRAFALGAR ROAD GREAT YARMOUTH NR30 2LD
7 bed 9 bath Guest House
Established, fully equipped guest house ready for immediate trading near the seafront.
7 letting bedrooms (six with en‑suite) plus private ground floor accommodation
Sandcastles is a three-storey Victorian bay‑fronted guest house just yards from Great Yarmouth seafront and the town centre, offered freehold and sold equipped for immediate trading. The building provides substantial internal floorspace across a narrow plot: seven bedrooms (six with en‑suite), guests’ dining room, private living accommodation and a usable kitchen/utility layout designed for B&B operation. Double glazing and gas central heating reduce immediate investment in basic services.
This property suits an investor or hands‑on operator seeking an established holiday‑let or guest house with an existing client base and permit parking for guests. The south‑facing forecourt provides a sunny seating area for guests; rooms are fitted with tea/coffee points and many have en‑suite facilities, supporting short‑stay turnover and higher occupancy potential.
Material considerations: the frontage and plot are small with limited private outdoor space and the layout is long and narrow, so some rooms are compact. The surrounding area is described as an urban cultural mix with a transitional Eastern European neighbourhood and a very high local crime rate; this will influence guest perceptions and insurance/costs. The building is in a very deprived area, which can support steady demand for budget accommodation but may limit premium pricing.
Operationally the business is sold equipped and trading, which reduces lead‑in time for a new owner, but wear‑and‑tear typical of high‑turnover guest houses should be expected. Prospective buyers should carry out a full inspection of the period façade, windows and internal condition and check planning if considering conversion to long‑let HMOs or alternative uses.
