A substantial eight-bedroom detached house in Bexhill-on-Sea offering strong rental or HMO potential. The property already includes two self-contained units and has previously been operated as an HMO, making it attractive to investors seeking immediate income or buyers wanting a large family home with flexible accommodation.
The spacious interior includes a large dual-aspect lounge/dining room, a fitted kitchen, and around 3,085 sq ft of accommodation across multiple floors. Externally there is a generous rear garden, off-street parking for several vehicles and existing planning permission to extend the front driveway — useful for adding more parking or improving kerb appeal.
Important practical points: the house has gas central heating and double glazing but carries an EPC rating of D and a high Council Tax Band G, so energy-efficiency improvements and running costs should be factored in. There are only two main bathrooms for eight bedrooms and the front and rear gardens are somewhat overgrown, indicating some immediate maintenance or refurbishment is likely required.
Overall this Victorian-era property (c.1900–1929) presents a compelling prospect for investors or buyers prepared to carry out upgrades. Its proximity to Bexhill town centre, seafront and train station adds to long-term rental and resale appeal, but purchasers should budget for energy upgrades, routine repairs and possible internal reconfiguration to optimise room-to-bathroom ratios.
