10 Cornfield Terrace, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN21 4NN
Currently let at £69,120 per annum
This substantial mid-terrace House of Multiple Occupation, dating from circa 1860, is arranged over four floors and has eight letting rooms with shared living room, kitchen, toilet and shower facilities. There are sea views from the upper floors with a number of attractive original period features, including fireplaces, original room dividers and timber shutters, plus a gas heating system via radiators.
The eight letting rooms are currently let on Assured Periodic Tenancies at £720 per calendar month per room, producing a gross annual rental income of £69,120, exclusive of management costs and utilities.
The property offers an immediate income-producing investment with a proven operational history spanning more than fifteen years.
While the property has been successfully operated as a House in Multiple Occupation since 2009 and benefits from an established lawful eight-bedroom HMO (Sui Generis) use, confirmed by a Lawful Development Certificate, there may also be future potential for reinstatement as a single private residence or alternative residential configurations, subject to obtaining all necessary planning and statutory consents.
The house is situated in a central and convenient location in the heart of the town centre close to all shopping facilities and amenities with the mainline railway station and seafront within easy reach.
