This top-floor one-bedroom apartment in The Portlands sits a short walk from Eastbourne seafront and Sovereign Harbour shops. The layout offers an open-plan living area with bay windows that bring natural light, a practical kitchen with space for appliances, and a built-in wardrobe in the bedroom — an easy first home or straightforward buy-to-let.
Practical features include recently extended lease terms (new lease details to be confirmed), uPVC double glazing, electric heating, and an allocated parking space directly outside the building. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low, and broadband and mobile signals are strong in this area.
Notable costs and conditions are clear: an annual service charge of £1,306.39, a Sovereign Harbour charge of £256 per year, and a peppercorn ground rent. The heating is electric (higher running costs than gas), and while the lease has been extended the precise new lease length is yet to be confirmed — buyers should check lease length and tenure before committing.
Overall, the apartment suits a first-time buyer wanting seaside proximity or an investor seeking a straightforward rental property. The compact, traditional layout and low-maintenance features make this a practical, move-in-ready option, with the usual caveats about service charges and electric heating costs.
