Site Description

The existing property was previously utilised as a supermarket on the ground floor with first floor storage and 1 x 3 bedroom flat fronting Cooden Sea Road. Site with planning consent for alterations and extensions of existing building as former supermarket (A1) on the ground floor, store and 1 No flat (C3) on the first floor to provide 3 commercial units (A1/A2) and 2 flats (C3) on the ground floor, 4 flats on the first floor and 3 flats on the second floor. Internal access is highly recommended to view the commercial units as they would only need minimal works due to them already being in a shell and core condition.

Location

The site is located in the heart of Little Common, which is a small village adjacent to Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex. Bexhill-on-Sea is a typical seaside resort with a wide sand and shingle beach. The high street boasts high street retailers and independent shops. The pioneering De La Warr Pavilion is a centre for the arts, with exhibitions, events and entertainment. Just a short walk from the town centre lies Egerton Park, which offers a children’s play-zone, fitness area and tennis courts. Little Common Primary school is 0.1 miles away and is rated ‘good’ by Ofsted. For Secondary schools, Bexhill High Academy is ‘good’ and St Richard’s Catholic school and Glyne Gap school are both ‘outstanding’.

Transport

Little Common is around 60 miles from London and can be reached via the A21, which leads to Junction 5 of the M25. Hastings is around 6 miles away and Brighton is around 30 miles away. Train links are good. Cooden Beach Station is within walking distance, with direct trains to London Victoria taking 1 hour 50 minutes and to Ashford International taking 62 minutes.
