The property occupies a standout beachfront position in Teignmouth, directly adjoining the town’s seafront, promenade and sandy beach, and benefiting from uninterrupted coastal outlooks across Lyme Bay.

The site sits in a highly visible and accessible location, approximately 100 metres from Eastcliff public car park (157 spaces) and within a short level walk of the town centre. Teignmouth is a popular and vibrant coastal town forming part of the wider South Devon area, known for its strong tourism appeal, attractive seafront, working harbour and year-round visitor economy. The town offers a mix of independent retailers, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with a well-established residential community.

The area benefits from excellent connectivity, with nearby Teignmouth railway station providing direct mainline services to Exeter, Plymouth and London Paddington. Road communications are also strong, with the A380 dual carriageway linking to the M5 motorway at Exeter, approximately 15 miles to the north.  The Lido’s immediate beachfront setting, combined with its proximity to the town centre and transport links, places it in one of the most desirable and high-profile positions within the locality, making it ideally suited to a range of commercial and leisure-driven uses.

The property comprises the well-known Lido site in Teignmouth, incorporating an outdoor swimming pool together with associated buildings including changing rooms, plant rooms and ancillary accommodation, all set within a south facing site.

The site extends to approximately 0.32 hectares /0.8 acres.

Whilst historically used as an outdoor swimming facility, the site is considered highly versatile and offers clear potential for a range of future uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Opportunities may include the continuation or enhancement of the existing leisure use, or alternative schemes such as hospitality-led development, wellness or spa facilities or healthcare provision.

The property is designated as an Asset of Community Value (ACV), and interested parties should have regard to the implications of this designation when considering proposals.
