A rare freehold mix of residence and retail in the heart of Hastings Old Town, this property combines immediate income with owner-occupier potential. The High Street shop is currently let to a deli until March 2026, providing an existing revenue stream while the rear private cottage offers comfortable two-bedroom living with garden access. Characterful Georgian features, high ceilings and East Hill views give the building strong kerb appeal.
The commercial unit spans three floors plus a cellar and can be configured to suit different business models or expanded residential use subject to consent. The self-contained rear cottage has a living room, separate kitchen, large family bathroom and two upper bedrooms with additional loft/storage space — practical for a small household or as let accommodation to complement the shop income.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is chain free and sold as a whole freehold, but the overall footprint is small and parts will benefit from updating to maximise rental or residential value. The area scores as deprived with higher local crime rates, which may influence tenant demand or insurance costs. Full details of the shop lease can be provided on request.
For investors this is a plug‑and‑play high‑street investment with upside from reconfiguration and refurbishment. For an owner-occupier the arrangement offers the convenience of living above/behind a trading business in a prime Old Town location within walking distance of the beach and mainline station.
