A compact top-floor two-bedroom flat in the heart of Hastings Old Town, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The 17ft lounge-diner with a large window brings in good daylight and offers far-reaching views towards East Hill and the funicular — a pleasant focal point for everyday living and entertaining.
Practical aspects include allocated off-street parking, double glazing, and an intact long lease (about 960 years). The kitchen and bathroom are serviceable and the layout is straightforward, making this a manageable first home or a rental investment with simple maintenance needs.
Be clear about ongoing costs and restrictions: the annual service charge is approximately £2,378 and ground rent about £60 per year. Heating is electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives, and the building’s rules prohibit short-term lets and pets — important if you plan Airbnb income or pet ownership.
Location is the flat’s strongest selling point: everything of Hastings Old Town is within walking distance — independent shops, pubs, eateries, the beach and East Hill steps. Note the local area scores indicate higher-than-average crime and deprivation; buyers should factor in neighbourhood conditions when assessing resale or rental prospects.
