Denton Road
Denton Road – Current Project
Purchased – June 2019
Time – Estimated 12 months
Ravelston Grange is a magnificent detached property, last used as a care home and sold vacant with the benefit of planning consent to create nine new apartments. It is a three-storey building of red brick with some tile hanging and charming period features.
Planning consent, subject to conditions, was granted by Eastbourne Borough Council with a proposed material change of use from residential care home (C2) to 9 x residential dwellings (C3) with associated extensions at ground floor and first floors. This consent also provides for the creation of off-road parking for seven vehicles at the front of the property.
The building has been partitioned, adapted and extended over the years to create a care home and much of the interior will need to be stripped back whether a buyer wishes to undertake the approved scheme or any alternative.
Denton Road is a sweeping tree-lined avenue bordered on one side by buildings of similar grand Victorian properties and on the other by the outdoor playing pitches and courts of Brighton University. This is a highly regarded residential area
The property is about 1 mile from Eastbourne Railway Station and town centre shops and amenities and 3/4 mile from Meads Village.
