Summary - HIGHMEAD MANOR FLAT 6 BUXTON ROAD EASTBOURNE BN20 7LF
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Large period flat with sea views and private garage near the seafront.
Share of freehold, no ground rent
Set within an elegant Victorian mansion in the favoured Meads area, this exceptionally spacious three-bedroom first-floor flat combines period character with far-reaching sea views from principal rooms. Generous room sizes include a dramatic 31'1" pentagon-shaped living room, a separate dining room and a kitchen/breakfast room. Two of the bedrooms face the sea, and the property benefits from a garage and large communal gardens with a vegetable patch.
Practical ownership is straightforward: a share of the freehold and no ground rent, but note the above-average service charge of £4,718 per year. Heating is provided via a community scheme and double glazing was installed before 2002. The building is solid brick, constructed before 1900, so thermal performance may be limited compared with modern standards.
Location is a key strength — the seafront is only a few hundred yards away, local shops on Meads Street are around 0.5 miles, and a range of well-regarded independent and state schools are nearby. The flat is suitable for families seeking generous living space close to the coast or buyers looking for a character-filled home with clear rental potential (letting allowed, but no short-term lets).
Buyers should also note some constraints: there is a single bathroom for three bedrooms, pets are not permitted under the lease, broadband speeds are reported as slow, and the EPC rating is D. An internal inspection is recommended to appreciate the scale and character of the accommodation and to assess any updating or insulation improvements you may wish to undertake.
