This three-storey Victorian terraced house on Purbeck Road is offered as an established holiday‑let with proven income. The business records around £85,000 annual turnover, sleeps up to 16 and comes with a housekeeper/management option for a largely hands‑off ownership experience. The property includes three bathrooms, three reception rooms and a compact courtyard with a hot tub that is a strong booking driver for groups.
Its town‑centre location puts restaurants, nightlife and Bournemouth’s beaches within easy reach, making the property particularly popular with hen parties and short‑break groups. There is clear conversion potential to an HMO to target longer‑term student or professional lets, subject to planning and licence requirements. The house is freehold and offers roughly 1,616 sq ft over multiple floors with several original Victorian features.
Important considerations: the property sits in a cosmopolitan, student‑dominated neighbourhood with very high local crime statistics and a generally deprived area profile. That environment supports short‑let demand but may present management and insurance challenges for long‑term lets. The plot and outdoor space are small, so external amenity is limited to the courtyard and hot tub.
For an investor, this is a versatile, income‑producing opportunity that requires practical oversight around security, guest management and possible refurbishment to maximise capacity and rates. Buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance, potential HMO conversion costs and any licensing or insurance upgrades driven by the location and use.
