About this property

A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE AN ESTABLISHED HOLIDAY LET BUSINESS WITH THREE YEARS OF PROVEN TRADING HISTORY.

The Artist's House is a substantial semi-detached period property occupying a prime South Cliff position, thoughtfully converted into four high-specification holiday apartments. Now entering its fourth trading year, the business benefits from three years of established accounts, consistent turnover, excellent guest reviews and a proven operational history.

The former home of renowned French watercolourist Paul Marny has been sympathetically restored and beautifully presented throughout. Combining period character with significant investment in infrastructure and guest comfort, the property has established itself as one of Scarborough's most highly rated independent holiday accommodation businesses.

The business has achieved Airbnb Superhost status for three consecutive years and enjoys an outstanding 9.4/10 Booking.com rating together with a 4.93/5 Airbnb rating. The apartments generate annual turnover of approximately £85,000 and benefit from healthy forward bookings extending into 2027, providing buyers with both immediate income and future visibility. Three years' trading accounts and further business information are available to genuinely interested parties.

Available as a turnkey going concern (subject to offer). The property can be purchased fully equipped with furniture, appliances, guest amenities and a full operational handover by separate negotiation, enabling a purchaser to continue trading from day one.

The property is complete with EcoSlider heritage sliding sash windows, insulation throughout, soundproofing between floors, fire safety system, 3-phase electrics upgrade, 32mm mains water pressure upgrade and much more. A blue plaque has been placed on the property by Scarborough Civic Society to commemorate the time Paul Marny lived and worked at the house.

The apartments occupy an enviable elevated position on a popular tree-lined avenue just off Ramshill Road, close to a wealth of amenities and attractions. Scarborough town centre, railway station, South Bay and the Spa complex are all within easy reach.

To fully appreciate the quality of both the accommodation and the business opportunity on offer, viewing is highly recommended. Please contact CPH today to arrange an appointment.
