A substantial Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in Chichester city centre, currently operated as ground- and first-floor offices with a self-contained second-floor apartment. The building totals approximately 3,602 sq ft across multiple floors, with tall ceilings, wide sash windows and period details; a large, walled private garden with separate side access offers rare outdoor space for a central property.
This property will suit an investor or developer seeking flexible commercial/residential options. There are nine reception rooms, two basement rooms and two cloakrooms, producing an established office layout and immediate occupation potential. In due course it may be possible to obtain planning consent to convert the whole building to residential use, subject to local authority approval — a clear opportunity for conversion value but not guaranteed.
Important constraints: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may increase conservation-led costs. Business rates apply while in commercial use and the property sits in a very high local crime area, factors that affect operating costs and tenant demand. Buyers should allow for professional surveys and listed-consent costs when budgeting.
In short, this is a rare, large period property with strong central location, conversion upside and a private garden — a high-potential, high-responsibility investment requiring careful planning and conservation-aware refurbishment.
