Description

Gyves House is a beautifully presented Victorian guest house, in a superb trading position very close to the unspoilt Eastbourne coast and promenade. Comprising a deceptively spacious, end terrace property, the guest house has seven bedrooms, all with en-suite bath or shower rooms. The owners' accommodation is to a particularly high standard, affording a true lifestyle business opportunity. The guest house features very highly in all reviews and is currently (Sept 2023) rated in the top three places to stay in Eastbourne on TripAdvisor. As a result, there are very high levels of return business.

Gyves House is ideally located just 30 metres from Eastbourne's seafront and to the east of the pier. The location offers a level walk to the shops and restaurants of the town centre either via the promenade or adjoining streets.

Location
Eastbourne has been for many years a popular seafront holiday destination, with visitors wishing to visit many of its attractions and sights, including the Victorian Pier, Bandstand, beaches, Sovereign Harbour and access to The South Downs.

The town also is a destination for businesspeople too, with year-round conferences being held within the town. The conference centre recently reopened following a major redevelopment and the towns main shopping centre underwent an £80m expansion.

With excellent road and rail links to London, Gatwick and Brighton, Eastbourne remains a popular seaside destination, attracting both tourist and commercial trade. It is noted for several major year-round events, including a major LTA tennis tournament, Airbourne Air Show, Half Marathon, classic car festival, beer festival, etc.

Accommodation
The property is a particularly attractive and spacious three-storey end of terrace property with the advantage of a very useful day room in the attic space boasting far reaching views. Gyves House is believed to date from around 1902. Unusually for such a town centre location, the property also includes a very pleasant and well-stocked enclosed rear garden, with side access allowing guests safe storage of bicycles.

The entrance to the property leads to an elegant hallway, in keeping with the period property. From the hallway, the front reception room provides a most comfortable owners' lounge. The second reception room, complete with log burner, is used as the guest dining room with patio doors leading to a courtyard area for guests' use. To the rear of the property is a fitted kitchen leading to a utility room and separate laundry area.

Accommodation
Gyves House presently offers 7 comfortably appointed bedrooms (all en-suite) with WiFi, flat screen television and tea and coffee making facilities.

Bedroom 1 - double bedroom with a spacious en-suite bathroom
Bedroom 2 - twin bedroom with en-suite shower room
