The plot, in West Hill Road, St Leonards, is on the market for £795,000.

The agents, Whozoo, have said the land is in a “premier seafront position and capacity to deliver truly exceptional homes in one of the most attractive coastal locations in South East England”.
Final permission was granted on October 1, 2025.
An existing section 106 agreement has been settled and will see funds given out for library improvements, a play area, rights of way, transport and biodiversity monitoring.
The approved development is free from affordable housing obligations.
Additionally, the seller intends to build ten five-bedroom luxury semi-detached houses on the same site.
