Sandbanks

This brownfield site has been unoccupied for a few years having previously been used by the District Council to provide a respite service for people with learning difficulties and associated office facilities.

We understand the site extends to approx. 0.195H/A (0.4875 acres ). It is rectangular in shape and currently occupied by a substantial two storey 1970’s building with later single-storey extension to the rear. Running along the northwest boundary a driveway leads to a small car parking area with a garden laid mainly to lawn.

The site is situated just one mile from the town centre with the main shopping area being developed along the High Street and George Street. There are various local and national shops, restaurants, several supermarkets, pubs and places of worship. The area is well served by several primary schools, a secondary school, excellent leisure and sporting facilities including football, cricket, swimming pool, gym, fishing, horse riding and excellent country walks, especially along the South Downs. There are excellent road connections via the A22/A27 which provide access to the popular coastal resort of Eastbourne (7 Miles), Lewes, the County Town of East Sussex 11 miles, Heathfield 9 miles and access to the M25 onwards to London. Polegate railway station is just over 3 miles distant, with rail services operating to Eastbourne, Hastings, Brighton, Lewes, London, Tunbridge Wells, and Gatwick Airport.
