Description
This detached property is arranged as an established guest house, with eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms across three floors. The accommodation includes six en-suite guest rooms, a dining room and a separate private living area with a kitchen, utility room, lounge, two bedrooms, shower room and courtyard garden. One of the guest rooms is currently used as a beauty room.
Outside, a gravelled frontage and side area provide off-road parking for around ten vehicles, alongside a double garage with an electric vehicle charging point. The property is described as having double glazing and gas central heating, with two boilers replaced in 2021. Existing planning permission is stated for a change of use to a dental practice; any other proposed use would need to be checked against the relevant consents.
The guest house is reported to achieve typical nightly rates of around £150 in summer and £80 in winter. Poole Park is nearby, with Poole Quay, the town centre, Parkstone station and Sandbanks beaches also within reach. The property is offered with no forward chain.

75out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £925,000, this substantial detached guest house is priced at £382/sq ft, around 11% below the local average—a clear opportunity to acquire a versatile property at a below-average rate. Its eight bedrooms, multiple en-suites, separate private living accommodation and parking for around ten vehicles give it an established hospitality layout, while the existing permission for a dental practice offers another potential direction, subject to any necessary consents.
The photographed rooms are clean and maintained, so this is more a light cosmetic refresh than a major renovation project: updating some carpets and decorative finishes could sharpen the presentation. The double garage, usable courtyard and proximity to Poole Park add to the appeal, although the external space is mainly gravelled rather than conventional garden.
Key opportunities
- Acquire at a below-local-average £/sq ft while retaining a substantial eight-bedroom layout suited to guest accommodation.
- Build on the existing guest-house setup, with multiple en-suites and separate private living accommodation.
- Explore the existing dental-practice change-of-use permission, subject to any necessary consents; the double garage and parking for around ten vehicles add practical flexibility.
