This expansive Grade II Listed property presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in the desirable village of Herstmonceux, East Sussex. Currently operating as a fine dining restaurant, the building spans approximately 4,241 square feet across two levels, with an additional 1,808 square feet available in the lower ground floor basement. Set on around 0.75 acres of landscaped grounds, the property offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
The potential for transformation is significant, as full planning permission and Listed Building Consent have been granted to convert the current establishment into two semi-detached family homes: one featuring five bedrooms and the other with four bedrooms. This flexibility allows for various development avenues, whether retaining its commercial use or transitioning to residential accommodation.
Parking is not an issue; there are designated spaces for several vehicles alongside double garages assigned to each proposed unit. The property's large garden invites landscaping possibilities while taking advantage of its elevated views.
Utilities include mains electricity, water, and drainage, supplemented by LPG gas for cooking and oil heating from two 2,500-liter tanks. While there has been identification of Japanese Knotweed on site, a comprehensive management plan is currently being prepared to address this issue.
With its prime location and versatile layout, this property is ripe for investment or redevelopment into high-demand residential units in a sought-after area.
