A ground-floor, one-bedroom apartment in an Edwardian mid-terrace, this flat offers generous ceiling heights and bay windows that flood the principal rooms with light. The living room and bedroom are both spacious for the building’s era, while the separate fitted kitchen and bathroom keep living areas distinct and practical.
Practical extras include gas central heating, double glazing and easy access to St Leonards mainline station — handy for commuters. On-street parking keeps overall running costs lower than managed parking schemes; council tax sits at the lower band for the area. The property sits in a densely populated neighbourhood with good local amenities and fast broadband.
Important — the lease has approximately 80 years remaining. That level of unexpired term is likely to restrict mortgage availability and some lenders may refuse to lend. Buyers should obtain independent verification of lease details, service charge and ground rent before committing.
The flat suits a buyer seeking an affordable, characterful home close to transport links, or a cash buyer/investor prepared for a lease-extension process. There is scope to update the compact kitchen and cosmetic finishes to add value, but structural fabric (solid brick walls) suggests limited scope for major extension work without cost.
