Located in Jarvis Brook, Crowborough, next to Owlsbury Coachworks, is a former motor repair premises which has just become available.

The premises includes 3 buildings, 2 of which interconnect, giving some 1,200 sq ft in total. The property has been used as a motor repair centre for many years and includes an inspection pit together with parking outside for 5/6 cars.

It is available on a new internal repairing lease at a rent of £750 per calendar month exclusive of rates and would be ideal for a startup motor mechanic.

The former Philmac building on Diplocks Way, Hailsham has been reduced in price by £125,000 to a new lower price of £1.1 million.

This spacious factory/warehouse of just under 10,000 sq ft together with attractive 1st floor offices occupies some 12,330 sq ft in total.

In addition there is a very useful yard/parking area of around 6,000 sq ft with direct loading access into the warehouse.

The Vendors are now keen to find a buyer for this property and have reduced the asking price to encourage an early sale. Viewing is recommended.

Lawson Commercial have been instructed to market some commercial premises with development potential right in the heart of Herstmonceux village.

The property comprises 1,520 sq ft of office, workshop & store in a very good location being almost opposite The Sundial restaurant. Planning consent has already been granted for conversion of the space to a 3-bedroomed house. It would thus be ideal for a small builder, investor or developer who is looking for a modest project to carry out. 

Alternatively, rather than implementing the planning consent,  it could be just the ticket for a business looking for some predominantly ground floor office/workshop space with an attractive elevation.

Offers are invited in the region of £230,000 for the freehold interest with the benefit of the planning consent.

Lawson Commercial have just been instructed to let a brand new building of 3,242 sq ft in Dunly Wood, just off the A267 at Cross-in-Hand, near Heathfield.

The unit is situated in wonderful surroundings in the middle of a 65 acre wood and has agricultural/forestry use making it ideal for anybody in that type of business.

A 2 or 3 year lease is on offer at £18,000 per annum + vat. It is unusual to have a building which has been specifically designed for forestry use but it would be great for storing equipment, cutting of timber etc.

Although set in picturesque surroundings in the middle of this 65 acre wood it only yards away from the A267 on the outskirts of Heathfield affording easy access to the main road network.

Just become available is a takeaway/retail shop at 28 High Street, Heathfield which is at the eastern end of the High Street just past the junction with Station Road.

In front of the shop is free lay-by car parking. The shop has 570 sq ft on the ground floor with 2 rooms on the 1st floor which is actually at ground level at the rear due to the slope of the land. The premises are available as a lockup shop/office. Alternatively the takeaway use could be continued either as an Indian as existing or a different food such as Southern fried chicken or kebabs. The property is available on a new 5 year lease at a rent of £15,000 pa.

Lawson Commercial have let Unit 1 Plot 14 Bell Lane, Uckfield, the former VPS premises behind the Esso petrol station, to Keep Powder Coating, a local business who already occupy Units 2 & 3 in this terrace and wished to expand.

The unit is just under 1,600 sq ft on the ground floor together with mezzanine offices of 463 sq ft as well as an annexe to the ground floor of 395 sq ft making just under 2,500 sq ft in total.

We are delighted that we have been able to help Keep Powder Coating with their expansion plans. It is always good to see a local business doing really well and needing more space.

Completion of this transaction took place just before the Christmas break and Keep Powder Coating have already started moving into their new unit which was extensively refurbished by VPS following their relocation out of Uckfield.
