Description
PLEASE REFER TO OUR FLOORPLAN FOR ROOM MEASUREMENTS..
This unique property is now available to buy, situated close to Poole Harbour and the town centre (10 minutes in either direction). It offers letting rooms on a room only or B & B basis, you decide and an owners flat. Some potential to extend further too.
LOCATION – Situated on Sandbanks Road, the road leading directly to Sandbanks beach and Poole Harbour, Mariner's is also close enough to Poole Town to be able to offer dual purpose accommodation for either tourists or commercial visitors. Locally it's on the doorstep of fashionable Ashley Cross and walkable to Parkstone station.
Poole Park is also a one-minute walk from the front door of the business. Poole ferry port operates a regular car, passenger and freight connection almost daily to Cherbourg and the Channel Islands. Road connections to many coastal outlying areas of Dorset and Hampshire are also nearby. Locally and even in the wider Poole area there are very few businesses like this and even fewer available to purchase.
THE PROPERTY – Offering 6 well maintained visitor bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, a owners lounge and resident’s breakfast room plus a very good quality, fully equipped kitchen. There are two further owners’ bedrooms on the ground floor and a laundry room/utility for the owners to use.
The entire building has been meticulously maintained throughout. It’s the intention to sell this business to include all furniture and inventory required to continue the business immediately. Some discussion between seller and buyer over the final items to remain is expected.
Outside there is a double garage and parking for several vehicles plus a south facing private courtyard garden for the owner’s accommodation.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
