Summary - 36, CHURCH STREET BN1 1RL
1 bed 1 bath Retail Property (high street)
Compact city-centre retail freehold near station — vacant and income-ready.
Freehold retail unit at top of Church Street
A compact freehold retail unit occupying a prominent position at the top of Church Street, moments from Queens Road and Brighton Mainline Station. The ground-floor layout includes a street-facing retail area, kitchen, two storage/treatment rooms, WC and a small rear courtyard. The residential upper parts are sold off and not included in the sale.
Offered vacant with an estimated rental value of £25,000 pa (exclusive), this mid-terrace property suits an owner-occupier retailer or a small-city-centre investment letting to a Class E occupier. The building has a C (55) EPC, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, and circa 436 sq ft of accommodation — compact but efficient for independent retail or café use.
Key value drivers are the central Brighton location, high footfall from nearby shopping streets and the train station, and freehold control of the commercial unit. Material negatives include a very high local crime rate and an area described as very deprived, which can affect yields and insurance costs. VAT is applicable on the quoted terms and prospective buyers should check permitted uses with the local planning authority.
This property is suited to investors seeking a small, city-centre retail freehold with immediate rental re-letting potential, or an operator wanting a compact shop in a tourist and commuter thoroughfare. The unit will benefit from cosmetic refurbishment to maximise rent and appeal; structural or major works are not indicated but should be confirmed by survey.
