Description

This property presents a significant renovation and investment opportunity, situated on approximately 0.488 acres on the periphery of Hailsham Town Centre, within a predominantly residential neighborhood. The site has been vacant for several years, having previously served as a respite service facility operated by the District Council. The parcel includes a substantial two-storey building from the 1970s, accompanied by a single-storey extension at the rear. Its rectangular layout is complemented by a driveway along the northwest boundary that leads to a small parking area and a garden primarily laid to lawn, providing ample outdoor space for potential development or enhancement. Located just one mile from Hailsham's main shopping district—which features an array of local shops, national retailers, restaurants, and supermarkets—the property benefits from convenient access to essential amenities. The area is well-supported by educational institutions, including several primary schools and a secondary school. Additionally, residents can enjoy various leisure activities such as football, cricket, swimming, gym facilities, and picturesque country walks along the South Downs. Transportation links are robust with major roads like the A22 and A27 nearby, facilitating quick access to Eastbourne (approximately 7 miles away), Lewes (11 miles), Heathfield (9 miles), and connections to London via the M25. For those reliant on public transport, Polegate railway station is located just over three miles from the site. Current zoning classifies this property under Class C2/B1 use. While all major services are believed to be accessible at the site, interested parties must conduct their due diligence regarding availability and capacity. The freehold comes with vacant possession upon completion. This property represents not only an opportunity for immediate renovation but also holds excellent potential for future development in an area poised for growth and enhancement.
