Summary - 21 WHITE ROCK HASTINGS TN34 1JY
10 bed 4 bath Terraced
Large 10-bed seafront townhouse with restaurant — ideal for investors or hospitality operators.
Direct seafront position with front rooms offering sea views
This substantial Georgian mid-terrace on Hastings seafront combines a fully equipped restaurant (basement and ground floor) with large multi-floor accommodation above. The building offers direct sea views from the front rooms and good-sized communal spaces, making it suitable for a continuing hospitality business, a buy-to-let conversion, or a large shared house project.
The property is offered freehold and arranged over five floors with 10 bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a working commercial kitchen and bar. Period sash windows, high ceilings and a prominent frontage provide strong character and rental/visitor appeal. An unusual historic feature is access to a blocked 200-year-old “smugglers’ cave” used for storage.
Buyers should note the location sits in a very deprived, very high-crime area, which will affect lettings, operations and insurance costs. The building is of solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, older double glazing (installed before 2002) and steam/boiler heating to radiators; parts will require updating, compliance checks and likely refurbishment to modern standards.
This is a clear opportunity for an investor or operator who can manage a mixed-use seafront business and carry out targeted renovation work. For someone seeking an immediate low-maintenance family home, the scale, current commercial use and local area characteristics make it less suitable without substantial change.
