It is listed with a freehold guide price of 475,000 to £500,000 at the firm’s auction which ends on Wednesday, September 18.

Senior Auction Appraiser and Auctioneer Richard Payne said: “This detached former social club has planning permission to demolish and create a three-storey building comprising six, two-bedroom flats on the first and second floors with five business units on the ground floor.

“We anticipate strong interest from developers and builders keen to make a quick start on a project with layers of red tape out of the way in terms of planning consent.”

The property – the former Newhaven Social Club which closed down in 2020 – is situated in the heart of Newhaven town centre, close to all local shopping facilities and amenities, as well as excellent road links to Brighton, Eastbourne and all surrounding areas via the nearby A259.

Flat 3 at 4 Pelham Place in Pelham Road has a leasehold guide price of £65,000 to £70,000.

It is currently let on an assured shorthold tenancy at a current rental of £700 per calendar month, generating £8,400 per annum

“It has an electric heating system and is fully double glazed throughout. The flat is in good decorative order and enjoys panoramic views over the town centre and surrounding countryside from the front and rear.”

The property is situated between Dane Road and West Street, being within easy reach of the comprehensive shopping facilities of the town centre, including the seafront and mainline railway station.
