Eastbourne, East Sussex

Situated in the desirable Devonshire Park area of Eastbourne, this mid-terrace Victorian property, dating back to approximately 1880, presents a unique investment opportunity. The recent £54 million redevelopment of the local area has enhanced its cultural and sporting appeal, positioning it as an attractive option for both business and leisure visitors. The guest house overlooks a charming Garden Square and enjoys partial sea views from the front elevation. With a strategic location just ten minutes from the main shopping district and close to notable attractions such as theatres and the Towner art gallery, this property stands to benefit significantly from ongoing visitor influxes, especially during major events like the International Tennis Tournament and Airbourne airshow. The building boasts five storeys with structural integrity intact; however, many interior elements would greatly benefit from thoughtful modernization to maximize its potential as a guest accommodation facility. Currently, the layout includes 16 guest bedrooms each with en-suite facilities, a guest lounge, commercial kitchen, and former dining room that could be restored or adapted for alternative uses. Additionally, it offers owner’s quarters comprising a spacious lounge and double bedroom with en-suite. This property is equipped with a passenger lift serving all floors—an asset in enhancing accessibility. With careful renovation focusing on updating amenities while preserving its historical character, this property could be transformed into a thriving hospitality venue that capitalizes on Eastbourne's growing popularity.
