A former police station is on sale for £3.5 million.

The site in Grove Road, Eastbourne, has planning consent for the refurbishment and extension of the station into 50 flats.

The 1930’s civic building is in the town centre next to the Grade II Listed Eastbourne Town Hall.

Milestone Group, which is managing the sale, said: “The Grove Road elevation will be sensitively restored with new steel windows, preserving its architectural contribution to the streetscape.
