Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex

Nestled within this secluded, town centre plot lies the extremely rare opportunity to commission or build a single story, contemporary dwelling within a short reach of the seafront in Bexhill-on-Sea.

Accessed via its own private driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, this well-sized plot offers planning consent for a 1,227 sqft dwelling designed by exceptional local architects, Pumphouse Designs.

Currently set out as a three bedroom house, if required the internal room layout can be altered to the buyer’s specific needs. The current plans incorporate a spacious, open-plan living area with rafted ceiling to include a kitchen and dining area with bi-fold doors opening out onto a private landscaped garden, as well as good-sized bedrooms including an impressive primary with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.

The roof will be part sedum making this a highly thermally efficient, modern home.

The private, west-facing rear garden will make the most of the enviable setting.

Full details of the permitted plans can be found at RR/2021/2402/P.

This central town position is ideal for accessing all of the essential amenities on offer in Bexhill as well as being a short walk to the seafront.

The popular town has much to offer by way of coastal walks, cycle paths, sailing and angling, as well as a choice of excellent cafes and restaurants. There are a number of sports clubs nearby including tennis, cricket, athletics, running and triathlete, bowls, gymnastics and football. Nearby golf clubs can be found at Cooden Beach GC and Highwoods GC.

The iconic De La Warr Pavilion always has a full schedule of cultural events as well as a number of exhibitions throughout the year. A little further along the coast is the recently renovated Cooden Beach Hotel with its delightful beachfront restaurant and bar.

Not only does Bexhill-on-Sea offer a relaxed pace of life on the south coast but is also excellently placed for easy access to Hastings and its vibrant Old Town, historic Battle, Eastbourne and Brighton.

The mainline train station, less than a 5 minute walk form the site, has direct links to London, Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings and Ashford while the A259 provides links to the A21 and A27 leading to other major motorway networks.

The site is well placed for schools including Battle Abbey Prep School, St Peter and St Paul’s CoE Primary School, St Mary Magdalene RC Primary School, St Richard’s Catholic College, Bexhill Academy and Bexhill Sixth From. The private sector offers a number of independent schools in Eastbourne including Bede’s and Eastbourne College, as well as Vinehall School (Battle) and Claremont School (Hastings).

The plot presents the opportunity to design and manage the construction of your dream home.

If required we can recommend architects, planning consultants plus a number of reputable, local contractors to quote on any required works. Most of our self-build buyers choose to work with a main contractor on a fixed-price build contract, with monthly payments in arrears and all works are overseen by a qualified chartered surveyor.

The total build cost will vary depending on the internal specification but a recent estimate from a local contractor was £275k to £325k.

Please note that site visits are available strictly by appointment only.
