Built in 1806 as a coastal defence, The Grey Tower is an imposing circular Martello Tower, offering more than 2,600 sq feet of light filled flexible accommodation arranged over three floors, sensitively converted. Now requiring modernisation, the property has stunning views over Pevensey Bay towards Dieppe, and has character features including six foot thick exposed brick curved walls, a central pillar with vaulted arches and radial beams.

The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall and comprises a large 26 ft. reception room and a spacious kitchen/ breakfast room with a range of wall and base units and integrated appliances. A door from the reception room gives access to a bedroom wing comprising a generous dual aspect principal bedroom with modern fully-tiled en-suite bathroom, and two further well-proportioned double bedrooms.

A central staircase rises from the reception room to an extensive first floor circular family room with exposed wooden flooring, two feature bay windows and a useful family bathroom. A separate concealed winding stone staircase rises to a spacious circular second floor room, suitable for a variety of uses, with fabulous 360 degree views of the coast and countryside.

The property is approached over a tarmac forecourt providing parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to the detached double garage. The garden is enclosed by fencing and screening with mature hedging and features a spacious blocked-paved terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining.

Pevensey Bay is an old fishing village, founded in the 1600s as Wallsend, the end of the sea wall from Eastbourne, and is renowned as the landing place for William The Conquerer in his 1066 invasion of England. Today, it is a popular semi-rural seaside resort with a range amenities included churches, local shopping, numerous cafes, restaurants, post office and public house. The property benefits from being a 100 yard walk to both Pevensey Bay Sailing club and Bay View Golf Course, and a short mile away from Sovereign Harbour Marina. Nearby Pevensey Village also offers a good range of local shopping together with a GP Practice and popular primary school. The seaside resort of Eastbourne offers a more comprehensive range of amenities including high street and boutique shopping, a modern shopping centre, numerous hotels, cafes, restaurants, public houses and recreational faciltiies including theatres, cinemas, an art gallery, swimming pools, fitness centres, sports clubs and Royal Eastbourne Golf Club. The beach at Pevensey Bay, Eastbourne, and the south coast provide a wide range of activities for water sports enthusiasts.

Communications links are excellent: Pevensey Bay station offers regular direct trains to London, while the nearby A27 gives easy access to the national road and motorway network.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on July 18, 2022

    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
