Summary - UNIT 1, CARLTON HOUSE, 28-29, CARLTON TERRACE BN41 1UR
1 bed 1 bath Office
Freehold office with parking, rental income and redevelopment potential subject to consent.
Detached Victorian office, 2,435 sq ft over two floors
A substantial detached Victorian office occupying 2,435 sq ft across ground and first floors, positioned on a main street in the heart of Portslade. The building offers multiple office rooms, kitchen and WC facilities, bay windows, high ceilings and on-site parking — a rare combination of period character and practical footprint for town-centre commercial use.
This property is currently split between licensed occupants (Areli Care Ltd paying £1,500pcm inclusive until 19 June 2026; Carlton Haines Ltd paying £833.33pcm inclusive until 5 August 2026), making it suitable for an investor seeking immediate income or an owner-occupier looking for operational space. There is potential for redevelopment or conversion, but any change of use would require the necessary planning consents.
Buyers should note key drawbacks plainly: the plot is compact with minimal grounds, the roof appears dated and may need renewal, the area records higher-than-average crime, and the property may be elected for VAT. The EPC rating is D (94). These factors affect running costs and redevelopment budgets and should be assessed before purchase.
Overall, this is a good-value freehold for a buyer who needs a prominent town-centre office with parking and short-term income, or for a developer prepared to secure planning consent and carry out refurbishment works. Its location by the A270 and a short walk from Portslade station gives strong local connectivity and tenant demand potential.
