Long lease, bay-window views and low running costs near West Hill and Old Town.
Share of freehold with a 999-year lease remaining
Set on the first floor of a Victorian terrace, this one-bedroom apartment offers period character, a bay-windowed lounge and far-reaching rooftop views toward the hills. The flat measures about 452 sq ft and benefits from a very long 999-year lease held as a share of freehold, meaning ownership stability for buyer or investor.
Accommodation is well proportioned: a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a medium lounge with character features, a compact modern-feel kitchen and a practical bathroom. The property is sold with no onward chain and has an EPC C rating, making it ready to occupy or let quickly.
Buyers should note the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation and internal upgrades may be needed to improve thermal performance. The area is classified as deprived with average crime and ‘hampered aspiration’ indicators — factors that can affect resale or rental demand. Service charge is £560 per year and council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs.
This flat will appeal to first-time buyers seeking affordable entry into Hastings or investors looking for a straightforward buy-to-let with long lease security and low immediate maintenance. It offers scope to modernise or improve energy efficiency to boost comfort and value over time.
