Set on the fourth (top) floor, this two-bedroom apartment offers roomy double-aspect living and a large balcony with rooftop views across West Town and towards the seafront. The flat is sold chain free with a very long lease and share of the freehold — practical benefits for buyers seeking secure ownership. Recent works to the block include a new roof and balcony railings; inside, the shower room and consumer unit have been replaced.
The flat suits a first-time buyer or buyer wanting a central town-base: it’s a short walk to the mainline station, shops and local amenities. The lounge/dining room and two double bedrooms are well-proportioned for the overall 605 sq ft, and the balcony extends the living space in good weather. There is a private ground-floor storage cupboard and residents’ off-street parking (first-come, first-served).
Buyers should note a few material factors. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC is an F — running costs may be higher than gas-heated properties. Broadband speeds in the building are reported as slow. The service charge is approximately £2,100 per year. The wider area records very high crime and local deprivation indicators, which may affect suitability for some purchasers or renters.
Overall this apartment presents an affordable, chain-free entry into Eastbourne town centre with immediate occupancy potential and scope to improve energy performance over time. For someone prioritising location, secure ownership and a ready-to-live-in flat with outdoor space, it is worth viewing; buyers prioritising low running costs or faster connectivity should factor in likely upgrades.
