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.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on July 24, 2023
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on August 2, 2019 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
