This is a notable opportunity to invest in a sizeable freehold property located on the historic High Street of Hurstpierpoint. Currently configured as a mixed-use housing unit that includes a commercial shop and a four-story residential townhouse, this property presents numerous possibilities for future development. With nearly 2,000 sq ft of space, it has not changed hands since the 1970s, making it available for creative reimagining. Potential transformations could include converting the existing structure into multiple apartments, subject to necessary planning permissions.
The shop area features its own street access and comes equipped with a WC, while the ground floor of the residence offers an expansive workshop space. The current tenant pays £5,500 annually, providing immediate rental income. The upper levels encompass up to four flexible bedrooms—these spaces can also function as living rooms—alongside a family bathroom and cloakroom with stunning views towards the South Downs.
The lower ground floor hosts additional living areas including a dining room, kitchen, shower room, and extra reception room or bedroom with storage options. This Victorian property retains significant character elements such as high ceilings and original fireplaces that hint at its historical roots.
Gas-fired central heating and mainly double glazing ensure comfort throughout, along with an attic space ideal for storage solutions. Outside lies a small yet inviting south-west facing courtyard garden.
Parking is conveniently available at the nearby Trinity Road car park. Located just steps from Hurstpierpoint’s bustling High Street filled with shops, eateries, and community amenities that encapsulate village life away from urban stressors.
For those commuting, Hassocks Station is within reach, providing swift transport links to London (approx. 54 mins), Brighton (9 mins), and Gatwick Airport (20 mins). Families will appreciate local schooling options including the well-regarded St Lawrence CofE Primary School and Hurst College.
This property is being sold freehold without onward chain—and given its prime location and potential for renovation or redevelopment, it represents an exciting investment prospect in this charming village.
