Freehold mixed-use building on Hastings High Street
A rare freehold opportunity on Hastings High Street combining a shop with separate cottage accommodation — ideal for an investor or a buyer wanting home and income. The ground-floor shop has a prominent Victorian shopfront, cellar and upper rooms, currently let to a deli until March 2026, providing immediate rental income. The self-contained two-bedroom cottage to the rear has a private entrance, walled courtyard garden and pleasant outlook toward East Hill.
The building is deceptively spacious across three main sections: the commercial frontage with back rooms and storage, a cottage with inglenook sitting room and large family bathroom, and additional loft storage. Period features such as brickwork and sash-style windows give character, while the flexible layout allows reconfiguration — either to simplify the shop footprint and expand accommodation, or to retain dual commercial/residential use.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is chain free and freehold, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The location places you in Hastings Old Town within immediate distance of the beach, pubs, independent shops and a short walk to the mainline station. This is an attractive proposition for someone seeking a seaside town investment or a combined live-work family home.
Buyers should note some constraints: the plot is small, there is only one family bathroom for the whole building, and the High Street location is in an area with higher recorded crime levels. The commercial unit is let until March 2026 — details can be supplied on request — so new owners should factor tenancy timing into occupation or refurbishment plans.
