The White Lion
Hotel, Pub & Restaurant with Substantial Development Options
Seaford, Lewes, East Sussex
Offer Over £1m


Opportunity

The White Lion is a very well positioned hotel, pub and restaurant in Seaford on the South coast

Whilst the pub and restaurant, with the large beer garden are very successful, there is a fantastic opportunity to develop the property and plot further to introduce holiday flats which will generate very healthy profits

There are multiple development options, delivering a very healthy GDV of over £2.5m, please see the Development section below


Location

The White Lion, Claremount Road, Seaford sits in an elevated position, granting delightful sea views across The Salts Recreational Park

Claremount Road, is the A259, the main road from Newhaven to Eastbourne

Seaford and the coastal area around Lewes is very popular with tourists and residents, the South Downs meet the sea with dramatic cliffs nearby

Siting close to both Brighton and Eastbourne, Seaford is a popular destination for tourists and second homeowners

One of the most sought-after towns in the area, properties regularly achieve £4,000 per square metre




Development

The business and property have multiple development options, whichever is favoured, the easiest win is to build a separate house on the drive at the top of the plot there the existing three garages are

A modest house @ 100 square metre property built where the garages are, with a drive and garden will achieve over £400,000

Depending on whether the buyer wishes to operate or close the pub, will depend on how many flats can be created –

• Large pub with four flats
• Regular pub with five flats
• Seven flats
Please see the attached floorplans for potential configuration
