Victoria Road, Aldeburgh

Stunning detached Victorian guest house, boasting 7 spacious bedrooms with individual en-suites, ample parking, planning permission for an additional 2 bedroom apartment, situated in a highly sought after seaside location.

The Toll House, Aldeburgh - Paul Hubbard Commercial is delighted to bring to market a stunning, 7-bedroom Victorian guest house in the sought after location of Aldeburgh in Suffolk.

The property has been operating as a guest house since 2004, when it was converted from a large family home into the beautiful guest house you see today. Due to retirement, the owners are looking to pass the property on to a new owner who can help continue the success of the previous 19 years and see The Toll House reach its full potential in the future.

The current owners have recently had planning permission granted for an extension to the property which will include a spacious, self-contained 2 bedroom apartment with C3 usage on the top floor, as well as adding space to one of the guest rooms first floor to increase it to a “family room”. The garden will also then be converted to allow for more customer parking and bike storage.

These changes would allow the new owner the option to live in the apartment whilst managing the guesthouse day to day, hire a manager to live on site and run the business, or alternatively use it as a separate Airbnb to generate more revenue.
