Summary - Church Road, Hove BN3 2AB
9 bed 4 bath House
Income-producing Victorian property near seafront, ideal for investors or live‑work buyers.
Freehold mixed‑use Victorian building, approx. 2,700 sq ft
A substantial Victorian mixed‑use freehold on Church Road, Hove, offered at auction on 10 December 2025. The building extends to roughly 2,700 sq ft across four storeys and comprises two residential units plus a ground‑floor commercial unit (currently a nail bar). The property produces a total annual income just under £90,000, with the lower‑ground flat contributing ~£25,000, the commercial unit ~£20,000, and the upper maisonette ~£40,000.
Well maintained and described as being in very good condition throughout, the building retains period character: high ceilings, large windows and bay details typical of Victorian terraces. Its Church Road location gives excellent street frontage and high footfall for the commercial unit, and the maisonette benefits from generous entertaining spaces and multiple bedrooms suited for sharers or a large household.
Significant positives for investors include immediate rental income, a flexible live/work configuration and close proximity to Hove seafront, independent shops and Hove Station with direct London links. The freehold tenure and mixed‑use layout also create redevelopment or consolidation potential, subject to consents.
Buyers should note material considerations plainly: the property will be sold at auction (10/12/2025) and sits in an area with very high recorded crime and measurable deprivation. External space appears limited or absent, and plot size is small. Prospective purchasers should undertake a full internal inspection, tenancy verification and legal/title checks prior to bidding to confirm room sizes, outdoor provision and tenancy terms.
