Description
Offered at auction, this freehold guest house on Scarborough Avenue is being sold with vacant possession on completion. The property is currently described as having two rooms operating on Airbnb, and the owners have reportedly started work in part of the building.
Planning consent is stated for a change of use, alterations and extensions to create eight self-contained holiday units, including an outbuilding. The consent is recorded under East Lindsey District Council reference S/153/01063/24. Buyers should check the planning documents and establish the scope and status of the works independently.
The property is close to Skegness seafront, the promenade, town-centre shops, restaurants and local amenities, with the railway station nearby. The sale is by live-streamed unconditional auction, with a 10% deposit and a buyer’s fee applying. The auctioneer advises that it has not personally inspected the property, so prospective bidders should review the legal pack and make their own enquiries before bidding.

Confidence: LOW
At £128,000, this freehold guest house has a strong coastal setting close to the seafront, town centre and station. The photos show a mixed condition: some usable fitted facilities and a presentable bedroom sit alongside stripped finishes, bare floorboards and exposed ceiling structure. This is a substantial project with scope to shape the property around its existing consent for eight self-contained holiday units and an outbuilding; check the consent, works already started and implementation status carefully. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The sale is by auction, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay at this level.
Key opportunities
- The consent for eight self-contained holiday units and an outbuilding offers a defined route to rework the guest house; verify the approved plans and what remains to be implemented.
- A heavy interior project gives scope to make the stripped and unfinished areas cohesive with the proposed layout, while retaining usable elements such as the fitted kitchen and presentable bedroom.
- The enclosed, usable outdoor areas and walkable access to the beach, promenade and town centre support the property's coastal guest-house setting.
Key risks
- Stripped and damaged finishes, bare floorboards and exposed ceiling structure make this a heavy, multi-area programme; allow for a full interior rebuild rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- Floor area is unavailable, so local £/sqf value and residual economics cannot yet be assessed.
