A substantial Grade II listed former merchant’s house, The Durbeyfield has traded as a long-established guesthouse and free house in West Bay since the 1960s. The property offers 10 letting bedrooms (six en-suite), an independent two‑bed apartment, public bar, dining rooms, conservatory and a large car park — a rare package in this busy coastal resort on the Jurassic Coast.
For an investor or owner-operator there is clear upside: the bar trades to locals and holidaymakers, letting rooms attract varied short‑stay markets, and turnover could be raised by adding daytime/evening dining. The site also suits conversion to a large private house or apartments (subject to planning), offering multiple exit or repositioning options.
Be realistic about constraints: listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate redevelopment or modernization. The business currently trades ten months a year (closed Jan/Feb) and broadband/mobile services are average. Full trading information and contents are available separately; the property is offered freehold and priced for a quick sale.
Set on a prominent approach into West Bay with sea and harbour glimpses from upper rooms, the location benefits from coastal tourism, National Trust cliff walks and nearby Bridport amenities. Low flood risk, ample parking and outdoor seating add operational advantages for holiday and hospitality use.
