George Street, Old Town, Hastings
£385,000 (Tenant Fees)

An opportunity to secure a rarely available freehold property in the heart of the historic Old Town of Hastings. The property is positioned at the centre point of Hastings Old Town’s busiest pedestrianised shopping area. There is a wonderful atmosphere that brings many interesting and individual visitors to the area to browse the shops, enjoy the café culture, and take advantage of the close proximity to the train station, seafront, and promenade.

In addition to the recently reduced listing price, please note that the property is available for mixed use. This offers excellent flexibility for both residential and commercial purposes, and, as it qualifies as a commercial premises, stamp duty rates are significantly lower. For example, a purchase price of £385,000 on a standard moving home basis, would incur a stamp duty of only £8,750.

The property itself presents a highly desirable opportunity to live, work, and be creative within the same dwelling. From the Tiffany-inspired blue exterior—originally the location of the Prout Gallery and studio—there is a beautiful open-plan shop area with original floorboards and a spacious basement ideal for extra storage or display space. The front façade features a unique and eye-catching window display point.

A private door at the rear of the shop leads to a staircase that takes you to the living accommodation. This includes a spacious kitchen and dining area, an open-plan mezzanine lounge with bay window offering views and sounds of the vibrant Old Town, a recently refitted shower room/WC, and a dedicated sleeping area.

In total, the building offers approximately 1,400 square feet of floor space. It boasts many unique and individual touches, such as a Rembrandt-style interior window providing a view from the living quarters into the shop, and an abundance of natural light throughout the property.

We have been advised by the seller that business rates are exempt.
