Homes plan land goes up for auction in Hastings

The land, off Church Street, is among 149 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 within easy access of the town centre with its various local and national retailers, mainline railway station and further amenities, as well as the seafront.

“The land is adjacent to Speckled Wood, in close proximity of Hastings Country Park nature reserve and near a supermarket and pharmacy.
