Description

This three-storey former post office combines a street-level retail or salon unit with a three-to-four-bedroom maisonette above, together with a substantial rear workshop and storage space. The listing gives an approximate gross internal area of 4,462 sq ft and describes the building as Georgian in style and more than 200 years old. It is in Scarborough’s Old Town, within walking distance of the town centre, beaches and coastline. The property has been stripped back and is offered as an extensive renovation project. The seller reports that planning permission and building regulations approval have been granted for conversion to a large single holiday let, with structural calculations approved and an archaeological assessment completed. Works described include underpinning and new steelwork, changes to the internal layout, new joists and insulation, and new service connections. Some work remains incomplete, including the new joisted floor and electrical connection to a consumer unit. The rear swimming pool mentioned in the listing has not been built. The property is recorded on one title as two units, with separate power feeds and council tax arrangements.

70out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £195,000, this is a strikingly low-priced opportunity against the local £/sqf benchmark, paired with a substantial 4,462 sq ft former post office in Scarborough’s Old Town. Its Georgian character, three-storey layout and large rear workshop and storage area give the project plenty of scope, and the listing reports planning permission for conversion to a large holiday let, with building regulations and structural calculations approved and some works signed off.

This is a full conversion project rather than a cosmetic refresh: the photographed interiors are stripped back, the proposed kitchen is unfinished, and the floor, services and rear groundworks still need completion. The £90,000–£180,000 renovation range indicates the scale of the job; the asking price is exceptionally cheap per square foot, but the eventual result will depend on delivering a substantial programme of work.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the three-storey former post office into the approved extensive holiday-let layout, using its Georgian character and generous overall space.
  • Make use of the substantial rear workshop and open-plan storage above as distinctive additional space within the project.
  • Acquire 4,462 sq ft at an asking price far below the local £/sqf benchmark, with scope to complete the unfinished kitchen, floors and internal finishes.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors, exposed structure and unfinished floors, services and rear works, alongside a £90,000–£180,000 works range, make this a full-gut programme with significant budget and delivery demands.
