This two-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a large corner plot on a quiet road just outside Hailsham town centre. It offers straightforward, single-storey living with a front living room, separate bathroom and WC, rear garden with garage and parking — a practical choice for downsizers or buyers seeking a renovation project.
The property is chain free and freehold, with mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband and mobile signal. Its mid-20th-century build (circa 1967–75) gives character but also means the home needs modernisation throughout; walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation, and internal fittings will benefit from updating.
Sold via the Modern Method of Auction: buyers must complete within 56 days and pay a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) in addition to the purchase price. Prospective purchasers using mortgage finance should satisfy themselves with lenders before bidding. The auction route can suit buyers able to move quickly and carry out renovation works.
Local amenities are convenient: primary and secondary schools, leisure centre, shops, medical services, and outdoor routes such as Hailsham Country Park and the Cuckoo Trail are nearby. Council tax is moderate and the crime rate is very low, making this a calm, well-connected setting for a sympathetic refurbishment.
