A substantial period end-of-terrace building in the heart of St Leonards-on-Sea, arranged as three separate units: a three-bedroom maisonette, a self-contained one-bedroom flat with courtyard, and a ground-floor office. The property sits two roads back from the seafront within the conservation area, close to shops, galleries, restaurants, the promenade and local transport — a clear location draw for holiday lets, renters or a combined home-and-income use.
The freehold title and extremely large overall size (approximately 5,871 sq ft) offer flexibility: keep the existing tenants who currently generate a combined rent of £19,500 per annum, or refurbish and reconfigure for higher returns. Ground-floor office has kitchenette and WC; residential flats have private entrances and practical layouts suited to long-term lets or short-stay conversions subject to permissions.
Buyers should note material practical considerations: the three units carry low EPC bands (E44 and E54; office EPC awaited), and the building will likely need upgrading and ongoing maintenance to improve energy performance and appeal. The area scores as very deprived with high local crime levels — important factors for pricing, lettability and insurance costs.
This property suits an investor or an owner-occupier seeking a home with income potential who is prepared to invest in refurbishment and management. With excellent mobile signal and central seafront proximity, the site offers clear upside for repositioning, but buyers should factor in retrofit costs and local market challenges.
