Location
Situated on Gordon Close within an established commercial and industrial area of Portslade, approximately 3 miles west of Brighton city centre.
The property benefits from excellent road connectivity, with Portslade town centre and Portslade railway station located nearby, providing convenient access to Brighton, Hove and the wider Sussex area. The A293 Old Shoreham Road is readily accessible, linking directly to the A27, providing connections east towards Brighton and west towards Shoreham-by-Sea and Worthing.
The surrounding area comprises a mix of industrial, trade counter, warehouse and commercial occupiers, making Gordon Mews a well-established location for a range of business uses.
Brighton & Hove city centre is approximately 3 miles to the east, whilst Shoreham-by-Sea is around 4 miles to the west. The location therefore provides a good balance between accessibility to the major commercial centres of Brighton & Hove and convenient access to the wider road network.
Description
Unit 4 & 5, Gordon Mews comprise two adjoining modern office units arranged over three floors, situated within this established commercial development in Portslade.
The units were formerly used as offices and are primarily open plan in layout, providing flexible accommodation suitable for a range of occupiers and working requirements. The specification includes carpet floor tiles, suspended ceilings, LED lighting and perimeter trunking, together with stairwells serving each floor.
The property benefits from four dedicated parking spaces located directly outside the building, with the parking area secured by gated access. An entry phone system provides controlled access to the building.
The accommodation extends to approximately 4,556 sq ft (423.25 sq m) in total and is offered for sale with vacant possession.
Residential Development Potential
The property also offers an attractive potential residential conversion opportunity. Architects' drawings have been prepared for a proposed scheme to convert Units 4 & 5 to provide 8 self-contained flats. No planning application has been submitted in respect of this proposal, and the drawings are provided as an indication of the potential redevelopment opportunity only.
There is, however, useful planning precedent within Gordon Mews. The adjoining Unit 1, Gordon Mews previously benefited from approval under Ref: BH2014/00654, approved on 29 April 2014, for the prior approval for change of use from offices (B1) to residential (C3) to form 5 self-contained flats.
