We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Development Opportunity in a Prime Location!
Situated on Victoria Parade just moments from the Promenade, The Ship Hotel presents a rare investment opportunity with sea air on the doorstep and partial river views from the upper floors.
Arranged over three storeys, freehold included and no chain. Accessed via the right-hand side of The Ship public house, the property is arranged over three floors, beginning at first-floor level.
Internally, the accommodation is currently configured as a multitude of individual rooms with several ad-hoc kitchen and bathroom facilities dispersed throughout.
The building is somewhat dilapidated and requires a comprehensive scheme of renovation, offering purchasers a blank canvas to redesign and reconfigure to modern standards.
The property previously benefited from planning permission for conversion into five self-contained flats, comprising one two-bedroom apartment and four one-bedroom apartments (APP/19/00860).
Whilst this has now lapsed, the precedent offers clear scope for buyers to explore reapplication, subject to the necessary consents.
Once converted and finished to an appropriate specification, projected rental values are anticipated to be in the region of £500pcm for the one-bedroom units and £650pcm for the two-bedroom unit, subject to confirmation based on final layout and finish.
With no outdoor space but an enviable coastal location, this is an ideal opportunity for an investor or developer seeking a substantial project with strong rental demand and the potential to grow a property portfolio in a sought-after setting.
NB. The Ship Public House below is currently tenanted for £17,000pa however the lease is due to end October 2027.
This could be included with the tenants in situ or with vacant possession however the vendor would be expecting in the region of £450,000.
