Summary - Petworth, West Sussex GU28 0AB
1 bed 1 bath Retail Property (high street)
Spacious character premises in a popular South Downs market town.
Freehold high-street retail premises, approx. 2,185 sq ft
A rare freehold opportunity on Petworth’s busy high street, this substantial period retail property offers 2,185 sq ft of adaptable space across two floors with standout character features. Exposed timber beams, inglenook fireplaces and generous window frontage on two sides give the premises instant trading presence and appeal to higher-end retail, gallery or destination food uses. Two entrances and a wide staircase make the layout flexible for separate retail and back-of-house operations.
The location within the South Downs National Park and close to Petworth House, festivals and quality independent traders brings steady footfall from local residents and visiting buyers. Size and position create clear reversionary value for an investor or owner-operator seeking long-term rental income or the potential for a mixed-use conversion, subject to planning consent.
Be realistic about practical works: the building dates from c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls and assumed lack of insulation, so thermal upgrades and mains services improvements may be needed. Plot is very small, so external expansion and on-site parking are limited. Business rates and other outgoings are not provided and should be checked before purchase.
Offered at £535,000 freehold, this is a characterful, large-footprint high-street unit in a proven tourist and weekend-buyer market. It suits investors seeking a long-lease retail asset with scope for refurbishment-driven value uplift, or an occupier who can capitalise on Petworth’s high-quality leisure and antiques trade.
