LOCATION: Junction Road Car Park occupies a central position within Eastbourne, a prominent coastal town in East Sussex less than half a mile to the seafront. The town lies east of Brighton and west of Hastings, placing it well within the established South Coast corridor.
The property sits to the south of Junction Road, roughly 200 metres from Eastbourne Railway Station and approximately 100 metres north of The Beacon shopping centre.
The town centre provides a strong mix of national and independent retailers, cafés, and restaurants. Leisure provision is well catered for, with facilities such as David Lloyd and Bannatyne health clubs, as well as open green spaces including Eastbourne Downs and Princes Park. The Royal Eastbourne Golf Club is situated approximately one mile west of the site. A number of major supermarkets serve the area, including Sainsbury’s and Waitrose.
Eastbourne benefits from reliable transport connections, with direct rail services to London and convenient road access to wider parts of the South East, enhancing its appeal as both a residential and commercial location.
With ongoing investment and infrastructure improvements, Junction Road is strategically positioned to benefit from Eastbourne’s continued growth and strengthening town centre environment.
The area is also well served by a broad selection of state and independent schools, including Eastbourne College, Eastbourne Academy, with Lancing College and Brighton College located further afield, offering strong educational options for families.
