12 bedroom detached house

Guide Price £1.25m - £1.35m This substantial Victorian detached building is located just 0.8 Miles from East Grinstead train station. Currently set up as a 12 room House of Multiple Occupation (HMO) with a current Fully Let Income of £105,720.00 P/A.

Drury Lodge, Cranston Road, East Grinstead, Sussex. Drury Lodge provides twelve single or double rooms to rent, each with their own kitchen facilities and a bathroom shared with just one or two other tenants. This grand Victorian building is set in a spacious garden shared by the tenants and maintained by a gardener. It is exceptionally well located: East Grinstead town centre and the Queen Victoria Hospital are each within ten minutes' walk and East Grinstead station is within 15 minutes. East Grinstead is an attractive town in North Sussex with a wide range of shops, parks and other facilities. It is on the edge of beautiful open countryside but also a short drive to major locations such as Gatwick and Crawley.

It is rare that such an opportunity comes to the market. A fantastic, substantial and grand Victorian detached building is currently used as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO). The current licence allows up to 20 people to live in the property at any one time. That said, the scope for development (STPP) in to a number of apartments is more than obvious too.

A grand entrance hall and doorway is testament to the Victorian era this home was built in.

Given the central location it is ideal for the town centre and mainline train station: it's no wonder it is normally fully occupied.

The ground floor is licensed for seven occupants. 'Room let 3' has the extra benefit of its own front door, separate lounge, kitchen, WC & double bedroom. The rooms are serviced by a shower room/utility area with WC and separate WC.

The first floor is licensed for seven people. Room let 6 being the largest, with plenty of character courtesy of the turret and a balcony which enjoys a pleasant outlook over the tree-bordered side garden. A shower room with toilet provide the services on this level.

Off the stairs to the second floor there are three shower rooms which all have the own W/C. On the second floor there are a further 3 room let's licensed for 6 people. Room let 10 has a kitchen/diner and a lounge/bedroom with turret, whilst Room let 12 has its own separate kitchen. A large attic space will be of great benefit too.

This is a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial investment property that is let.
