Set on Hastings seafront, this second-floor purpose-built apartment delivers genuine coastal living with far-reaching sea views from the lounge and private balcony. The two double bedrooms both have built-in wardrobes and the layout includes a separate bathroom and WC, generous entrance storage and a practical kitchen. With replacement double glazing and electric storage heaters, the home is ready to occupy while offering scope for personalised upgrades.
This property is chain free and comes with an extended 125-year lease, low ground rent and a predictable annual service charge. The apartment suits first-time buyers looking for an affordable seaside base or buyers seeking a long-lease investment with clear letting rules (subletting allowed, minimum six-month lets). Its location places you steps from the promenade, local shops and the mainline station for links to London.
Buyers should note a few honest drawbacks: the building sits in an area of high crime and very high deprivation scores, and the living room description records damp stains and mould patches that will need investigation and repair. Heating is electric storage radiators; while gas is present in the building, installing gas central heating would be an upgrade project. Service charge and communal maintenance apply (approx. £2,091 pa).
Overall this is a well-proportioned, affordable seaside apartment with excellent views and long lease security. It will particularly suit purchasers prepared to carry out light refurbishment and cosmetic repairs to address damp and modernise heating, or investors seeking a coastal rental with clear subletting terms.
