Summary - 50, HIGH STREET, HASTINGS TN34 3EN
5 bed 1 bath House
Rare mixed-use freehold in Hastings Old Town, steps from beach and amenities.
Freehold building with rear two-bedroom cottage and three-storey shop
An unusual freehold opportunity in Hastings Old Town combining a two-bedroom rear cottage with a three‑storey commercial unit and shopfront on the High Street. The cottage has a private rear entrance, a charming living room, separate kitchen, large family bathroom and a loft room for storage; the walled garden is mature and offers pleasant outlooks toward East Hill. The commercial unit currently spans three floors with front and back rooms plus a cellar and is leased to a deli until March 2026, providing immediate income.
The building is deceptively spacious despite its overall small footprint and flexible in configuration — the layout can support continued mixed-use, reconfiguration into larger residential accommodation, or retention as a shop plus separate home. Chain free sale and freehold tenure simplify purchase logistics. The location is prime for footfall, close to beach access, local restaurants, galleries and Hastings town centre with rail links to London a short walk away.
Notable considerations are factual: the property sits in a deprived area with a higher local crime rate, which may affect rental yields and buyer appeal. The overall internal space and plot are described as small, and there is only one bathroom serving five bedrooms if used as a single family house. The shop is currently under lease until March 2026 — purchasers seeking immediate vacant possession of the commercial unit should plan accordingly. Buyers should expect typical maintenance and potential refurbishment to update historic features and adapt the layout to personal or commercial needs.
