Description
Offered at auction on 2 December 2026, Hurdis House is a vacant freehold commercial building in a central Seaford position.

It is described as requiring modernisation and may suit continued commercial use or a change of use or redevelopment, subject to the necessary consents.

Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
Hurdis House is a prominent four-storey freehold in central Seaford, with a former café and restaurant at street level, seven upper-floor offices, basement storage and two rear parking spaces. The vacant building offers a substantial heavy project: the photographed interiors are extensively worn, with staining and deterioration in places, while the former commercial kitchen and washroom areas show dated, incomplete fittings. The façade appears intact in the available view, but the roof cannot be assessed from the photos.
At £350,000, the headline price cannot be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing. The listing is being sold by live-stream auction, so bidding could take the hammer above the guide and the eventual price may not remain at this level. The 44/100, grade E score reflects limited condition and fundamentals scores, while value and economics remain difficult to assess without floor-area data. Its central position, existing multi-level layout and former commercial use give it a distinctive canvas, with any conversion or redevelopment subject to the necessary consents.
Key opportunities
- Rework the former café and restaurant space, including its commercial kitchen, into a renewed ground-floor offer suited to the building’s future use.
- Make use of the existing four-storey arrangement, with seven upper-floor offices, multiple stair-accessed levels and basement storage, to shape a coherent multi-level scheme.
- The prominent Broad Street position, two rear parking spaces and distinctive former bank strong room with original safe provide character and practical features to build around.
Key risks
- The stripped-back, heavily worn interiors and incomplete fittings make this a full-building rebuild programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for substantial time and coordination across its multiple levels.
- Visible staining and localised deterioration need investigation, and the roof is not sufficiently visible in the available photos to assess.
