Description

A rare opportunity to acquire one of Eastbourne`s finest and most important private residences understood to have been constructed in 1911 and designed by the highly regarded architect J.N. Randall-Vining, for one of the directors of Liberty department store. Comprising over 780 square.metres of accommodation over three floors. St Margaret`s was given a Grade 11 listing in 1979 and converted a year later into a 19 bedroom care home. Planning permission is expected to be granted imminently to convert the property back to a single private residence to reinstate, as far as possible, the original layout. The Edwardian interior is still present to the majority of the ground floor and is particularly prevalent in the lobby, the grand reception hall, the dining room, the communal lounge, and one of the resident rooms.The period detailing is largely intact to the ground floor, including panelled walls, fireplaces and intricate plaster cornices and ceiling detail, although there are some areas that require reparations. The planning permission consents for a seven bedroom property with five reception rooms. On the ground floor there is to be a billiard room, living room, dining room, a separate kitchen, and a library. On the first floor are five bedrooms which includes a master suite with dressing room and bathroom, a second bathroom, play room, and an office for occasional working from home arrangements. On the second floor is an informal home cinema, a play room, dressing rooms, two bedrooms and a bathroom. St Margaret`s is approached by an in/out driveway and is set within sizeable south facing gardens. There is ample off-road parking in addition to a double garage. Located in the heart of Meads, the Meads village shopping facilities, restaurants, cafes and two public houses are within a quarter of a mile or so, with access to The South Downs National Park within 200 yards and the seafront within a half mile. St Andrews prep school is also in the immediate vicinity. This is undoubtedly a very rare opportunity to acquire an outstanding home of exceptional Edwardian character not to be missed. Further information on the planning approval are available on request.
