Prime, City Centre, Freehold Premises at 47 Trafalgar Street, Brighton
Camping’s Luxury Coaches Limited, founded by Gordon and Theodore Camping, has operated from its premises at 47 Trafalgar Street for decades and their Coaches were a familiar sight in Brighton and Hove in the 1950s and 1960s driving holidaymakers to the French Riveria for £10.50 per person return ! A highly respected Brighton transport name with deep local roots, the Camping family entrusted Austin Gray to bring the site to market for the first time in over 50 years.
Drawing on more than 40 years’ experience as professional property specialists, we were able to provide expert guidance to both the Camping family and multiple prospective purchasers who inspected for potential use as a Brewery/Car Parking/Music Venue amongst others.
During our marketing of the premises, planning permission was approved on appeal, for the demolition of the existing building and construction of a four-storey (plus basement) commercial development. In addition, planning consent was granted in February 2024 for a change of use from a car rental facility to a street-food market (BH2024/00453). An alcohol licence was also approved.
Brought to market with offers in excess of £1,500,000, we can confirm the sale of 47 Trafalgar Street has successfully completed. Ownership of this prime, city-centre freehold property, minutes from Brighton Station, has passed to its new custodians – signalling a new era for this prominent site.
