Very high local crime and very deprived area — factor safety and resale
Light, airy and move-in ready, this newly refurbished two-bedroom first-floor flat sits directly off Eastbourne’s historic seafront and enjoys sea and pier views from the front balcony. The open-plan lounge and modern fitted kitchen maximise the 594 sq ft layout, while the larger bedroom benefits from its own private rear balcony. Chain free with 105 years remaining on the lease, it suits buyers who want seaside living without an immediate refurbishment project.
Practical running costs are straightforward: mains gas boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property sits in a period Victorian terrace with high ceilings and bay windows, retaining character alongside contemporary finishes. Service charge and ground rent are notable—approximately £2,050pa service charge and £200pa ground rent—so factor these into affordability calculations.
Be realistic about the setting: the local area scores as very deprived with very high recorded crime levels, and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks wall insulation. The apartment’s overall size is small and may suit a couple, first-time buyers, or a buy-to-let investor targeting holiday/short-stay demand, rather than a growing family seeking extensive indoor space.
This is a straightforward, chain-free purchase for someone prioritising location and a ready-to-live-in interior. If proximity to the beach, period character and low immediate maintenance appeal, this flat offers that package; buyers who need large rooms, quieter streets or long-term energy efficiency improvements should budget accordingly.
