Summary - Flat 2, 17 Old Orchard Road BN21 1DD
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Large two-bedroom flat close to town, station and seafront.
South-facing bay-fronted living room with high ceilings
This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment occupies generous proportions within a semi-detached Edwardian building just yards from Eastbourne town centre and the seafront. The bay-fronted living/dining room with high ceilings floods the space with light, while two large double bedrooms and a modern kitchen and bathroom provide comfortable, move-in-ready accommodation. The long lease (share of freehold) and off-street driveway parking add practical value for owners.
Practical strengths include double glazing, a separate cloakroom, and a layout that suits home working or relaxed living. At about 1,076 sq ft this flat is notably spacious for its type, offering scope to personalise or reconfigure if you want to increase rental or resale appeal.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property’s heating runs on LPG (not a mains gas connection), the original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and council tax sits above average. The local area records higher crime levels than average, which may concern some buyers; however the location’s proximity to transport, shops and seafront remains a strong draw.
Overall, this apartment will suit first-time buyers or couples seeking roomy period character with modern fittings and a long lease. It also offers clear potential for modest energy upgrades or cosmetic redecoration to enhance comfort and value over time.
