Description

Sunset House is a freehold mixed-use building on Burnham-on-Sea’s Esplanade, comprising three flats and two ground-floor shop units. The shops are currently linked by an internal doorway and could be separated by closing it. A self-contained flat sits behind the commercial space, while the other two flats occupy much of the first and second floors. The upper accommodation has coastal views from some front-facing rooms. The property is described as producing gross rent of approximately £31,680 per year, with the listing indicating that a rent review or uplift would not be appropriate. The ground-floor flat has a lounge with kitchen area, one bedroom and a bathroom; the upper flats provide further residential accommodation. The building has a forecourt and parking area at the front. Burnham-on-Sea High Street is approximately 100 yards away. Junction 22 of the M5 is around three miles away, and Highbridge & Burnham railway station provides rail connections. The combination of residential and commercial units offers scope to manage the existing mixed-use arrangement, subject to verification of leases, income, condition and relevant requirements.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

54out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Sunset House stands out as a substantial freehold seafront property, combining three flats with two ground-floor shop units and an established gross rental income of about £31,680 a year. Its coastal position, multiple income streams and several usable living areas give it a distinctive investment canvas, while the photographed dated finishes and untidy garden edges offer scope for a light cosmetic refresh.

The overall score is 54/100 (D, Weak Opportunity), with good fundamentals and location but only moderate condition and economics scores. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the asking price alone is not enough to call it cheap or dear.

Key opportunities

  • The combination of residential flats and commercial units provides multiple income streams in a prominent Esplanade position.
  • Several photographed living areas and bedrooms appear usable, and one kitchen has a more contemporary finish, leaving scope to refresh selectively rather than start from scratch.
  • The rear outdoor area and front forecourt offer practical scope to tidy and improve the property's presentation.
