This five‑storey, mixed‑use mid‑terrace on Cambridge Road presents a central Hastings investment with immediate rental or redevelopment potential. The building comprises a large basement/ground-floor shop with private entrance and four upper floors arranged as multiple reception rooms, two bedrooms, kitchen, utility and limited bathroom facilities — suitable for continued commercial/residential use or conversion subject to planning consent.
Period features include high ceilings, bay windows and fireplaces that give strong character and potential to create attractive lettable spaces once upgraded. The property is chain free and offered at a guide price from £325,000, which reflects its central location and scope for value‑adding refurbishment or reconfiguration into separate flats or extended residential use.
Buyers should be clear about the material drawbacks: the block needs renovation throughout, heating is electric room heaters, the commercial/whole building EPC is very poor (G for whole unit; upper residential E), and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated — so investment in insulation and new services will be required. There is no substantial garden and external space is limited to a small rear courtyard.
The area is very deprived with very high recorded crime and a cosmopolitan, student and migrant‑family neighbourhood profile; that supports rental demand but also brings management and tenant‑mix considerations. This is best suited to experienced investors or developers who can budget for refurbishment, EPC improvement and any planning works to unlock higher returns.
