A well-presented three-bedroom apartment on Castledown Avenue with a rare share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (958 years). The flat sits in a period mid-terrace building and benefits from its own private entrance, double-aspect reception room and a kitchen/breakfast room — comfortable accommodation for families or first-time buyers seeking space near Hastings town and seafront.
Practical strengths include gas central heating, double glazing, an EPC C rating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property comes with a 360° HDR virtual tour for easy remote viewing and sits close to good local primary schools and the amenities of West Hill and the town centre.
Be clear on the material considerations: the building is original solid brick and likely lacks cavity wall insulation; it dates from before 1900 so further period-related maintenance should be expected. The flat has one bathroom for three bedrooms, and the neighbourhood records very high crime levels and significant area deprivation — these factors may affect running costs, insurance and personal security decisions.
Long-term lettings are permitted but short-term holiday lets and Airbnb are not allowed. Council tax sits in band B (relatively cheap), and the combination of share of freehold and a very long lease offers long-term ownership security for owner-occupiers or traditional landlords.
