Summary - Flat 4, Normanhurst, 36 St. Johns Road BN20 7NB
4 bed 1 bath Flat
Light-filled four bedroom apartment with sea and Downs views.
Top-floor mansion-style apartment, c1,788 sq ft
Occupying the entire top floor of a handsome Victorian mansion block in Meads, this spacious four-bedroom apartment extends to about 1,788 sq ft and is flooded with natural light. The accommodation blends intact period character—high ceilings, stained glass, sash-style windows and feature fireplaces—with a superb recently fitted kitchen and generous entertaining rooms. South-east-facing aspects provide distant views over Eastbourne to the sea and the South Downs.
The layout works well for family life or a home-with-workspace: large living and dining rooms, four bedrooms, a main bathroom and a separate cloakroom/WC. Practical benefits include a very long lease (remainder circa 981 years) with a share of freehold, mains gas central heating, double glazing and an elevated position close to Meads Village, seafront and local schools including several independent options.
Buyers should note a few material points: the building is of solid brick construction and likely lacks cavity wall insulation, the EPC is rated D and the property may therefore be coldier or less efficient than modern builds. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal. Service charges average around £2,500 per year and there is only one full bathroom for four bedrooms.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a large, elegant top-floor apartment in one of Meads’ premier streets. It will suit families seeking space and character near good schools, or professionals wanting substantial living and entertaining areas with easy access to the seafront and South Downs walks. Some upgrading to improve energy efficiency and modern connectivity would add value and comfort.
