Rare opportunity to acquire a substantial sea front guest house in Weymouth with an exceptionally long lease, effectively offering virtual freehold ownership. Positioned directly opposite Weymouth Beach and within easy walking distance of the town centre, this well-established business benefits from consistent demand and outstanding views.
The property provides 12 en suite letting bedrooms, several of which enjoy sea views, along with a ground floor dining room overlooking the seafront and a conveniently located breakfast kitchen. In addition, the top floor comprises a self-contained two-bedroomed holiday with sea views.
Owners’ accommodation is extensive and flexible, including a private lounge, two to three bedrooms, an enormous kitchen and laundry room, a newly created en suite double bedroom, and a second shower room. To the rear, a secure yard provides valuable storage and parking for motorcycles and bicycles.
The Grade II listed Georgian property benefits from gas-fired central heating and has undergone considerable improvement during the current ownership, including the installation of a new boiler and water tanks, together with a planned rolling programme of annual decoration and maintenance. The business is currently trading at an informed turnover of approximately £120,000 including VAT.
The property is held on a highly attractive 125-year lease at a fixed ground rent of just £5 per annum, providing exceptional long-term security and making this an ideal lifestyle and investment opportunity. There is clear scope to enhance the accommodation and increase room rates, with nearby guest houses achieving significantly higher tariffs following investment in upgrades.
Full details are available upon request, and early viewing is strongly recommended due to the rarity of this tenure and prime sea front position.
