This Swedish beach resort sits on Skåne’s longest sandy beach and was a hot spot for tourists in the early part of the 20th century. Almost a century on, however, it’s in desperate need of TLC and a creative with the vision to restore it for new use.

Yngsjö Havsbad is currently on the market via Fantastic Frank for 13,995,000 SEK, and offers an opportunity for one deep-pocketed investor to revitalise the Swedish property as a commercial venture or private accommodation.

The property includes a restaurant and bar which looks out over the public beach – considered one of the best in Southern Sweden – from its floor-to-ceiling windows. There’s also a bungalow and guest accommodation, with 10 rooms facing the sea on site.

Parts of the complex date back to around 1930 and the buildings will need shoring up. But if you’re looking for a renovation challenge, this one is packed with charm.
