Summary - 14A EAST ASCENT TN38 0DS
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright period home close to beach and station, chain free.
Private entrance; two-storey maisonette layout
A well-proportioned three-bedroom maisonette arranged over two levels and accessed via its own private entrance. The living room benefits from high ceilings, period mouldings and a feature fireplace, while a contemporary eat-in kitchen with island creates a sociable hub for cooking and dining. Two generous double bedrooms sit on the lower floor alongside a large bathroom with separate shower and direct access to a private courtyard garden — ideal for low-maintenance outdoor living.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (approx. 988 years), share of freehold ownership, low annual service charge (£600) and no onward chain, making the purchase process simpler. The location is a major draw: immediate reach of the seafront, St. Leonards Gardens, independent shops, galleries and a mainline station with direct links to London in around 1 hour 20 minutes.
Buyers should note this is in a high-crime, very deprived area which may affect insurance and perceptions of resale; broadband speeds are average. The building is an older solid-brick property (pre-1900) and walls are assumed uninsulated, so owners seeking the highest energy efficiency may face retrofit costs. Council Tax band B and the long lease keep ongoing costs predictable.
This property will suit families or professionals who prioritise space, period character and proximity to seafront amenities, and who value a chain-free, long-lease purchase. It offers immediate move-in condition with potential to personalise further while benefitting from sensible running costs and strong transport links.
