The property is a substantial building, formally a seventeen-bedroom hotel, situated on Grosvenor Road in Westcliff-on-Sea. Its prime location offers easy access to the seafront and benefits from proximity to Westcliff train station (0.70 KM). Several schools are within a reasonable distance, including St Bernard’s High School (1.48 KM), rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted.

The images reveal the property to be in need of significant modernisation and refurbishment. Many rooms show signs of wear and tear, including damaged walls and outdated fixtures. The overall condition suggests a considerable amount of work would be required to bring it up to a desirable standard.

While the listing mentions the possibility of conversion into apartments or a large HMO (subject to planning permission), the absence of plot size information prevents a definitive assessment of the land aspect. Further details are needed to determine the potential for external space or garden areas.

Considering the list price of £1,050,000, and comparing it to the average house price in the area (£551,099), it’s significantly higher. However, the property’s size (17 bedrooms) and potential for multiple uses (subject to planning) could justify a higher price, although the condition will undoubtedly impact the overall value. A full structural survey and planning permission assessment would be required to establish a more accurate valuation. The lack of square footage information for the property itself hinders a precise price per square foot comparison. The provided average price per square foot in the area (£501) is therefore not directly applicable.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
