Lot 168 Former Hotel With HMO Licence And Planning Consent For Conversion To 8 ApartmentsAuction Date:
26th March 2026
Roseglen Hotel, 12 Palmerston Road, Shanklin, Isle Of Wight, PO37 6AS
Currently let at £44,200 per annum
Key Features
Roseglen is typical of many former seaside hotels, having previously provided holiday accommodation which is no longer required with people's changing holiday habits.
The freehold building is situated in a prime location in Shanklin, a pretty seaside town on the east coast of the Isle of Wight. The beach and seafront are a short distance to the east while the town centre is situated a few hundred yards away.
In common with many similar buildings the property now needs to be re-purposed and accordingly, the current owners have obtained a HMO licence from the Isle of Wight Council. Six of the former hotel rooms are now let under the terms of Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements and are producing a worthwhile income.
Additionally, the current owners have also obtained planning permission for conversion into eight residential flats, which will be ideally suited for addition to an income producing letting portfolio or potentially for re-selling to the local marketplace. The new apartments will be a mix of one and two bedroom units.
