A bright, recently refurbished two-bedroom garden apartment set within a handsome period building in St Leonards on Sea. The apartment benefits from its own private entrance, spacious open-plan kitchen/dining and lounge with a fireplace, plus two double bedrooms each with an en-suite. Bi-fold doors open from the kitchen to a west-facing composite deck and lawned rear garden, offering easy indoor–outdoor living.
Practical strengths include UPVC double glazing, gas central heating, a useful external storage area and a new 999-year lease with a share of the freehold. The interiors are presented in good decorative order and the layout suits owner-occupiers wanting ground-floor access, or landlords targeting seaside rental demand given the short walk to the seafront and St Leonards station.
Be aware of material local and property factors: the neighbourhood records high crime rates and the wider area scores as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental premiums. Broadband speeds are reported slow, and the property’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated — further insulating works may be desirable for long-term running-cost savings.
Annual maintenance is approximately £1,456 and council tax is very low. Overall, this apartment offers a rare combination of period character, a private garden and a long lease; it will suit buyers seeking a garden-level, low-stairs home near the seafront, or investors focused on central St Leonards rental opportunities who accept the local area trade-offs.
