80-82 High Street, Littlehampton, West Sussex, BN17 5DX

For sale by Online Auction - 23rd of September 2026 .

An exciting investment and development opportunity comprising a substantial double-fronted property occupying a prominent position on Littlehampton High Street.

Extending to approximately 4,287 sq ft (398.39 sq m) GIA, the property currently provides extensive and flexible commercial accommodation with excellent frontage and strong visibility. The property is offered with vacant possession, providing an opportunity for investors, developers and owner-occupiers alike.

A significant feature of the property is the prior approval granted under planning reference LU/211/25/PD for the change of use to three residential flats (Class C3). The approved scheme provides an attractive opportunity to reposition the property and unlock its residential development potential, subject to compliance with the conditions of the approval.

There may also be further development potential, including the possibility of adding an additional storey and creating a further two residential units, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission, building regulations and all other relevant consents.

Alternatively, the existing accommodation offers potential for continued commercial use and could suit a variety of retail, leisure or service occupiers, subject to any necessary consents.

The property occupies an established town-centre trading position surrounded by national and independent occupiers, including Costa Coffee, Greggs and Superdrug, together with numerous shops, cafs, restaurants and bars.

An excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold property where the existing planning approval and scope for further development provide significant potential to add value.
