A bright, front-facing one-bedroom retirement apartment situated yards from Eastbourne seafront with bay-window views over Holy Trinity Church. The flat sits on the first floor of a modern 1980s block and benefits from a long lease in excess of 100 years and being offered chain free.
Internally the layout is traditional and straightforward: a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a bay-windowed lounge, fitted kitchen and a recently refitted shower room/WC. Practical features include double glazing, electric night storage heating and an airing cupboard with hot water cylinder. Communal facilities add convenience — residents’ lounge, laundry room, communal gardens and off-street parking.
This property suits a downsizer seeking low-maintenance living close to the sea and local amenities. The apartment is compact (around 409 sq ft) and well-placed for local shops, transport and leisure; an internal inspection will quickly show its suitability for independent retirement living.
Notable points to consider: heating is by electric storage heaters which can be costly compared with gas, and the area records higher-than-average crime levels. The flat is leasehold (long lease remaining) and located on the first floor (lift available), which may be relevant for mobility needs. Overall, the property offers convenience and sea-proximate living but is best for buyers prioritising location and low upkeep over long-term heating economy or very large living space.
