Property Description
Freehold Mixed-Use / Conversion Opportunity – Substantial Building on Key Coastal Arterial RouteFraser Bond is delighted to present 103 Sedlescombe Road North, a substantial freehold building positioned along one of St Leonards-on-Sea’s प्रमुख arterial routes
Arranged over ground and first floors and extending to approximately 2,100 sq ft, the property has historically operated within a commercial (A2) use class, providing a flexible layout suited to office, medical, or administrative functions. The configuration, combined with external space including a rear garden and balcony, offers significant scope for repositioning.
The surrounding area is characterised by a blend of residential terraces, converted flats, and neighbourhood retail, reflecting an established mixed-use environment. This context, alongside the building’s scale and layout, underpins strong potential for conversion to residential or multi-unit accommodation, subject to planning.
This is a compelling opportunity to acquire a well-located asset with multiple exit strategies—whether retained for income, repositioned for rental yield, or redeveloped to meet sustained local housing demand.
