An uncommon five‑storey freehold in central Hastings offering substantial floor area (6,205 sq ft) and 16 former classrooms across multiple levels. The building includes a large basement open‑plan room with direct access to a rear courtyard garden and is chain free, making it suitable for immediate purchase and redevelopment schemes.
This property is sold as an investment/renovation opportunity and will require comprehensive refurbishment and conversion work. There is only one bathroom shown for the whole building and the interior is in need of renovation; any change of use to residential or other commercial uses will be subject to planning and building‑control approvals.
Location strengths include town‑centre convenience, close walking distance to the mainline railway station and seafront, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for future tenants or occupants. Be aware the local area shows high crime levels and significant deprivation, factors that will affect lettability and may influence mortgage or insurance considerations.
For an investor or developer prepared to manage conversion risk and obtain consents, the building’s scale, freehold title and central position provide clear potential to create multiple flats, a large HMO, institutional student accommodation or continued educational/commercial use.
