A chain-free, ground-floor two-bedroom flat tucked into Hastings’ Old Town, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking location over finish. The apartment offers a practical layout with a lounge/diner over five metres, two bedrooms and a compact kitchen, plus a private courtyard and an allocated off‑street parking space — a rare convenience in this area.
The property is offered with a very long lease (approximately 962–999 years remaining) and UPVC double glazing. Its central Old Town position places cafés, independent shops, galleries and the seafront within easy walking distance, and public transport is nearby. Mobile signal is excellent and broadband speeds are average for the area.
The flat is tidy but basic and would benefit from some updating: the kitchen dates from the 1980s and internal finishes are plain. Heating is electric, which can be more expensive than gas in this area. Annual maintenance charges are around £2,600 with a small ground rent of £130. Note the wider area records higher-than-average crime and some local deprivation indicators — important for those prioritising neighbourhood profile.
Overall this is a low‑maintenance, centrally located home that trades modern finish for convenience and long-term security of tenure. It will appeal to buyers who value Old Town living, need an allocated parking space, and are prepared to invest modestly in updating to add value.
