A compact one-bedroom ground-floor flat in a Victorian terrace, offering open-plan living and a large bay window that brings in natural light and distant sea views. The layout maximises its 462 sqft with a generous lounge/kitchen and a double bedroom; high ceilings and period features add character.
The property will have a lease renewal completed by the vendor, and a share of freehold is being granted on completion. Currently the lease shows 47 years remaining — this is materially short and may prevent many mortgage lenders from lending. Buyers should budget for lease-extension costs and expect additional legal and leasehold fees.
Practical running costs: mains gas boiler and radiators provide heating; council tax is very low, but service charges are approximately £1,750 pa. The building is solid-brick Victorian construction (likely uninsulated) and broadband speeds are reported slow, though mobile signal is excellent. The flat suits someone seeking a well-located pied-à-terre, a local first-time buyer prepared to resolve lease issues, or a cash buyer/investor aware of the lease and refurbishment needs.
Location is a key selling point: close to St Leonards town centre, shops, cafes and excellent transport links, with easy access to the beach. Be realistic about the neighbourhood context: local deprivation is high and recorded crime levels are above average, so viewings should include checks on personal safety and immediate surroundings.
