Quietly positioned on the second floor of a small purpose-built block, this chain-free one-bedroom flat offers a surprisingly generous bedroom and living space for a compact apartment. It sits within easy walking distance of a landscaped duck pond, local shops and bus links, making daily errands and short commutes straightforward. The accommodation has been successfully rented for years and would suit a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, move-in‑ready base with scope for cosmetic updating.
Practical details that support value: a long lease (98 years remaining), low annual ground rent (£150) and very cheap council tax (Band A). The block is modestly maintained but has no formal reserve maintenance fund; recent ad-hoc service charge demands have covered building insurance, communal electricity and occasional repairs. Prospective buyers should obtain full legal confirmation of historic and expected service charge liabilities before committing.
Property specifics to note: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives, and broadband speeds are average. The building is timber‑framed with external insulation and double glazing (install date unknown). There is no private driveway or garage and on‑street parking is likely; the flat benefits from a small communal garden and pleasant outlook towards allotments and water.
Overall this is a practical, affordable entry-point in Hailsham for a single buyer or couple who value location and size over luxury finishes. It is sold chain-free and offers clear scope to add value through minor improvements, but buyers should factor in running costs, possible future service charge demands, and the leasehold terms when assessing affordability.
