- Two large reception rooms and refitted 16' kitchen/diner

- Cellar provides additional storage but may need work

This substantial Victorian maisonette offers nearly 1,950 sq ft of flexible living space with high ceilings, large bay windows and generous room proportions. The property feels grand and bright, with two large reception rooms, a refitted kitchen/dining room opening directly onto a private walled garden, and a cellar for storage. The main bedroom measures about 22' and could be divided to create a fourth bedroom subject to necessary consents.
The accommodation is presented with some modern touches—refitted kitchen and luxurious bathroom—but the building dates from 1900–1929 and sits on solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation. Heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators; double glazing was installed after 2002. These factors mean there is further scope to improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold with a small ground rent of £200, and council tax is above average. The maisonette sits close to Eastbourne town centre with excellent mobile signal, fast broadband, nearby schools (including well-regarded options) and local amenities, making it well-suited to family living or an investor seeking a high-footfall central location.
Overall, the home combines period character, generous internal space and garden access, balanced by the realities of owning an older, solid-wall building on a leasehold tenure. Early inspection is recommended to assess its potential and any energy-efficiency or refurbishment work you may wish to undertake.
