Local area: above‑average crime and higher deprivation — factor in demand
This freehold high‑street shop on South Farm Road offers a compact, well‑positioned retail unit with a modest rear workshop and off‑street parking. The large display frontage and three‑phase electricity suit service trades or specialist retailers seeking strong street visibility and flexible Class E uses.
The accommodation extends to roughly 544 sq ft over a single commercial floor with apparent residential accommodation above. Internally the fit‑out is basic and dated — suspended ceiling, counter fixtures and workshop plant remain — presenting an opportunity for straightforward refurbishment or repurposing to an alternative commercial use (subject to consent).
Practical benefits include rear access for deliveries, 100% small business rate relief eligibility, and excellent transport links to Worthing town centre and nearby rail services. These features support steady local footfall from surrounding terraces and flats.
Notable drawbacks are factual and should influence budgeting: the property uses electric storage heating, has cavity walls likely without insulation, and an EPC rating of D (79). The local area records above‑average crime and higher deprivation, which may affect some occupiers and rental prospects. Prospective buyers should verify permitted uses with planning authorities and allow for upgrade costs, including insulation, heating improvements and general modernisation.
