This well-presented fourth-floor apartment sits directly off Eastbourne seafront, offering compact coastal living with a surprisingly spacious lounge and views towards the South Downs. It’s ready to move into with a fitted kitchen, shower room and double glazing, making it a practical first home or coastal bolt-hole.
Practical features include a passenger lift to the fourth floor, a separate lockable storage room in the basement and residents’ parking (first-come, first-served). The flat is leasehold with a long remaining term (circa 134 years) and a low annual ground rent, and it’s offered chain free for a quicker purchase.
Be clear about the running costs and energy performance: heating is electric (room heaters) and the EPC rating is E, which can mean higher energy bills compared with gas-heated homes. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, so communal and apartment maintenance should be considered when budgeting for long-term upkeep.
Location is a major selling point — immediate access to the seafront, short walks to the town centre and mainline station, plus local shops, cafés and leisure amenities. For a first-time buyer wanting seafront life without extensive renovation, this apartment delivers an affordable, chain-free entry into Eastbourne property ownership.
