A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial former bank building with planning permission for a comprehensive mixed-use redevelopment in the centre of Seaford.
Occupying a prominent position on the north side of the A259, the property forms part of the town's established commercial core and benefits from excellent access to local amenities, transport links and the seafront. The existing building is a purpose-built 20th-century commercial property featuring attractive brick elevations, stone detailing, impressive floor-to-ceiling heights and a distinctive banking hall.
The approved scheme seeks to revitalise this redundant building through a sympathetic conversion and extension. Planning permission allows for the retention of the majority of the ground floor as commercial accommodation, subdivided into two units to meet local market demand, while the upper floors and rear section of the building will be transformed to provide three high-quality residential apartments.
The proposals include a modest rear extension, the addition of two rear-facing dormer windows and the creation of an intermediate floor level within the existing double-height banking hall, maximising the potential of the building whilst respecting its existing character.
A key aspect of the scheme is its commitment to sustainability, delivering energy-efficient accommodation and supporting local initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impact. The development has been carefully designed to enhance the appearance of the building, preserve neighbouring amenity and create attractive spaces to live and work.
This represents an excellent opportunity to deliver a well-considered mixed-use development in a thriving coastal town where residential use above commercial premises is well established and highly complementary to the surrounding area.
