Abbeyfield House in North Road, Alfriston, is among 168 lots in the latest auction being held by one of the top five property auctioneers in the UK, Clive Emson Land and Property Auctioneers.
It is listed with a freehold guide price of £600,000 to £650,000 at the firm’s auction which ends on Thursday 1 May.
The modern detached brick property was purpose-built in 1985 and was previously used for supported living, with 10 rooms with en-suite facilities with a residents’ living area and communal kitchen.
Senior Auction Appraiser and Auctioneer Richard Payne said: “We are anticipating strong interest in this substantial and versatile vacant property which has potential for a number of uses, subject to planning.”
There is a driveway with vehicular access providing parking for several vehicles and a detached single-storey building arranged as two offices and a store. The building is arranged over two floors and has electric storage heating and is fully double-glazed throughout.
Gardens surround the property, mainly laid to lawn with tree and shrub borders.

A block of seven garages with potential in Polegate are listed with a freehold guide price of £95,000 to £100,000.
Currently let at £7,008 per annum with two vacant, the garages are on a private road just off Hailsham Road.
