This top-floor two-bedroom apartment in Eastbourne’s Old Town offers a straightforward entry to ownership or a ready-made rental. The flat is presented in good condition with a modern bathroom, fitted kitchen and a three-year-old combi boiler, giving near-term peace of mind.
Set in a purpose-built mid-century development, the flat has a double-aspect living room with a private sun balcony and communal landscaped grounds. Residents’ off-street parking, low monthly service charges and a recently extended 125‑year lease support long-term ownership or letting potential.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold (125 years), there is no lift to the second-floor entrance, and the overall footprint is compact at about 575 sq ft. Service charges are below average (£960 pa) and council tax is very low, which help running costs for first-time buyers or landlords.
Positioned close to shops, schools and transport links in Old Town, the flat suits buyers seeking convenience and low-maintenance living, or investors looking for a manageable, chain-free purchase with good local rental demand.
