This substantial detached period property presents a rare and attractive investment opportunity in the heart of Eastbourne, offering a true turn key proposition for discerning investors.
Situated on Enys Road and occupying a site of approximately 0.18 acres, the building is configured into six separately accessed apartments each currently let as residential units (Four two bed and Two one bed). The property is arranged over three storeys, with the upper floor formed as a distinctive mansard roof, and is notable for its elegant Georgian architectural style. Constructed primarily from brick, the building also features areas of coursed and random flint, complemented by smaller sections of stucco render, all contributing to its character and historic charm.
Originally erected in the 18th Century as a farm, the building has evolved over time to provide modern accommodation while retaining its period features and original integrity. Since 1949, it has enjoyed Grade II listed status as a building of special interest, as recognised by English Heritage (NHLE Code 1190370) under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act, ensuring the preservation of its unique architectural and historical significance.
Each apartment benefits from its own separate access, providing privacy and convenience for residents, while the overall arrangement of the building allows for efficient management and excellent rental potential. Onsite parking further enhances the appeal for tenants, adding to the property's desirability and supporting strong occupancy rates. The building's layout and condition allow investors to acquire a fully operational asset with immediate income generation and minimal initial outlay, making it an ideal addition to any investment portfolio. The location on Enys Road places the property within easy reach of Eastbourne’s amenities, transport links and attractions, enhancing its long-term rental prospects. This is a rare chance to secure a historic and architecturally significant building that has been thoughtfully adapted for contemporary use, offering both stability and growth potential in a sought-after area. With its combination of period character, practical configuration and proven rental track record, this block of apartments represents a compelling proposition for investors seeking a blend of heritage, convenience and income in one of Eastbourne’s most established settings. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the full scope and potential of this exceptional investment opportunity.

By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
