KING & CHASEMORE are delighted to offer for sale this flint fronted Grade II Listed period property, situated in Rottingdean’s High Street, located just off the seafront, in the historic village of Rottingdean. 'Tallboys' was built circa 1780 and was the 'Customs House' and acted as the local head quarters for the revenue service, trying to combat the considerable amount of smuggling taking place along the coast. In 1788 the revenue officers recovered in Rottingdean, 71 bags of tobacco and 185 gallon flasks of spirits.’ Tallboys' contains many original features with oak flooring to the ground floor and ornate carvings attributed to the artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones. The property for many years recently was run as a local store by the current vendors, but is now currently arranged two flats, with three separate entrances. . The ground floor flat has the main front entrance, and a separate side entrance, and comprises: one double bedroom with en-suite shower room, 17' living room, 11' modern kitchen and 10' cellar area. The first & second floor maisonette, which has its own separate access at the rear, comprises: 12' living room, 15' modern kitchen/breakfast room, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. To the rear is a private paved patio garden area.
Outside of the property there is also a separate rear access way, behind 'The Old Cottage Cafe' rear garden, next door, which leads to this properties rear garden, where there is a useful outbuilding which used to be 'Trunky Thomas's Smokehouse', and was formally used as an artists studio. A great chance to own a real piece of Rottingdean History. This property will make a great investment, or would easily convert back into one single dwelling with a good size patio garden at the rear.
