SUBSTANTIAL COASTAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY 12-BEDROOM PROPERTY WITH SEA VIEWS & PARKING

Description
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY IN A HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER COASTAL LOCATION

Town & Country Property Auctions are delighted to offer an exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial three-storey property occupying a prominent position close to Roundham Harbour, with impressive sea views and generous off-street parking.

The property is in need of remedial works and refurbishment and is considered particularly well suited to investors and developers looking for a substantial redevelopment or conversion project.

Currently configured and previously operated as a guest house/holiday accommodation, the property provides a significant existing footprint with 12 bedrooms, extensive communal accommodation, commercial kitchen facilities, owner's accommodation, outside space and parking.

The scale and configuration of the building could provide an excellent basis for a residential conversion or redevelopment scheme, potentially creating a number of self-contained apartments or other residential accommodation, subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions, building regulations approvals and other consents.

For investors and developers, the attraction lies in the combination of a large existing building, sought-after coastal location, sea views and development potential. The property offers scope to acquire, comprehensively refurbish and reposition the asset to meet the demands of the local residential or holiday market.

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL

The property is likely to appeal particularly strongly to:

* Property developers seeking a substantial coastal conversion project
* Investors looking to create multiple residential units
* Developers exploring apartment schemes
* Buyers considering serviced accommodation or holiday apartments
* Experienced refurbishment investors looking for a value-add opportunity
* Hospitality operators wishing to modernise and reposition the existing accommodation

Potential conversion into multiple self-contained apartments, residential accommodation, an HMO or continued hospitality/holiday use should be considered subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

Interested parties should make their own enquiries with the relevant local authority regarding the planning potential and establish the feasibility and costs of any proposed scheme before proceeding.

THE PROPERTY

The property extends over three floors and currently provides a substantial arrangement of accommodation, reflecting its former use as a guest house.

There are 12 bedrooms, a number of which benefit from sea views or sea glimpses, together with extensive communal areas and ancillary accommodation.

The existing layout provides developers with considerable flexibility and could potentially be reconfigured as part of a comprehensive refurbishment and conversion project.

EXTERNAL

One of the property's key advantages for redevelopment is the provision of generous off-street parking, which is a valuable and relatively scarce feature in this sought-after coastal location.

The property also benefits from garden and courtyard areas.

LOCATION

The property is positioned close to Roundham Harbour, within easy reach of the area's beaches, coastal walks, shops, cafs, restaurants and other amenities.

The South West Coast Path is nearby, providing access towards Goodrington Sands and the surrounding coastline.

The combination of its coastal position, sea views, accessibility and existing parking makes this a particularly interesting proposition for developers seeking an opportunity in an established and desirable seaside location.

INVESTMENT SUMMARY

This is not simply an opportunity to acquire an existing guest house. The property should be of particular interest to investors and developers prepared to undertake a comprehensive programme of remedial works, refurbishment and potential reconfiguration.

With a substantial three-storey footprint, 12 existing bedrooms, extensive ancillary accommodation, sea views and off-street parking, the property offers considerable scope to explore alternative uses and a potential residential conversion.

The opportunity could suit a developer looking to create multiple apartments, an investor seeking to reposition the asset, or an experienced refurbishment specialist looking for a substantial coastal project.

Potential redevelopment and conversion opportunities are subject to planning permission, building regulations approval and all other necessary consents. Interested parties are strongly advised to make their own independent enquiries regarding the feasibility of their proposed scheme prior to bidding.
