'Iconic' kiosk on Eastbourne seafront available to rent

Eastbourne Borough Council has appointed property agency Sussex Commercial to market the kiosk, found off Royal Parade.

An asking price of offers in excess of £5,500 per annum has been set.

Building of the kiosk, aimed to resemble the silhouette of a traditional spyglass, was completed in 2017 and it has recently served as a cafe-restaurant.

Sussex Commercial says the ‘quirky’ landmark offers potential tenants the opportunity to serve ‘hot and cold beverages along with light snacks’.

The listing reads: “Situated in close proximity to many of Eastbourne’s Hotels, B&Bs and views of Eastbourne Pier, the Spyglass is perfectly located for beach activities and tourist events including Airbourne, Eastbourne’s annual Airshow that attracts over half a million tourists during the weekend event.”

There is a deadline of 5pm on Monday, January 25 2027 to express interest in the property.
