Superb Beachfront Guest House For Sale

Weymouth, Dorset, UK
Asking Price:
£260,000 Furniture / Fixtures included
Turnover:
£50K - £100K
Net Profit:
Under £50K

Superbly located guest house positioned directly on Weymouth beach, enjoying attractive sea views and a peaceful trading position with no passing traffic. Situated on Brunswick Terrace, a quiet cul de sac just off the main Esplanade, the property offers the rare combination of immediate beach access while remaining close to the town centre and harbour.

The guest house provides five to six letting bedrooms, all with their own facilities, together with flexible two to three bedroom owners accommodation. The business is currently operated from five letting rooms, with the top floor room retained for family use, offering immediate scope for a new owner to increase income by utilising all available accommodation.

The Grade II listed property benefits from gas fired central heating, with the exception of one top floor room. Many of the guest rooms enjoy sea views, and the location is particularly popular with returning guests who value the quiet position combined with proximity to the beach. One of the letting rooms is arranged as a separate en suite double on a mezzanine level, which has previously been used as the main private bedroom, allowing alternative configurations of the owners accommodation if desired.

A major feature of this opportunity is the rare and highly advantageous internal only repairing lease. Under the terms of the 60 year lease from 2003, Dorset Council is responsible for all structural repairs including the roof and windows, all exterior decoration and buildings insurance. This significantly reduces ongoing maintenance responsibilities and costs. The gas boiler was renewed by the previous owners approximately five years ago.

The business operates as a traditional bed and breakfast and has been in the present ownership since January 2022. It is currently open from March to October, with reduced operation in the shoulder months and full operation during the peak season. Accounts for the year ended April 2025 shows a turnover of approximately £50,000 with most living costs paid by the business. New owners trading from all six bedrooms with no reduced operations could potentially increase turnover to around £75,000.

The business is offered for sale as the owners are relocating back to the Midlands. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a beachfront guest house with a strong location, low maintenance lease structure and clear potential to increase income.
