Description

This prominent end-of-terrace commercial property, located on the bustling High Street of Littlehampton, presents a unique investment opportunity with potential for residential conversion (subject to planning permission). Currently occupied by Strobilus Cafe, the ground floor features a well-established café area with outside seating, enhancing its appeal during warmer months. The first floor offers additional space that could be transformed into residential accommodation, making it an attractive option for both investors and owner-occupiers looking to combine business and living spaces. The property benefits from a high-footfall location, surrounded by a mix of national retailers and independent businesses, all part of a revitalized town centre. With a current rental income of £15,000 per annum and a rateable value of £7,500, this property not only serves as a commercial asset but also holds significant potential for capital appreciation through future residential development. Interested parties should conduct their own due diligence regarding planning permissions and potential uses.
