Tucked at the lower end of Barley Lane, this compact two-bedroom Victorian terrace sits a short walk from Hastings Old Town and the seafront. With a recently redecorated frontage and stable-style doors, the house offers easy access to shops, cafés and the coastal walk while remaining chain free and freehold.
Inside are small, characterful rooms: a ground-floor living room with exposed brick fireplace and laminate floor, a practical rear kitchen opening to a compact courtyard, and a downstairs shower room with WC. The main bedroom to the front also features an original brick fireplace; a second smaller double at the rear would suit guests, a home office or dressing room. The property is double glazed and heated by a mains gas boiler and radiators, with an EPC of C reported.
Practical considerations are clear: the house totals about 395 sq ft and sits on a very small plot, so interior space is limited. Built around 1900–1929 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), the property may benefit from targeted insulation or energy-efficiency improvements in future. Ceilings are standard to low and rooms are compact — a good fit for a first-time buyer or someone seeking a low-maintenance pied-à-terre rather than a large family home.
Local context: the immediate area is described as an ageing urban community within a wider industrious transition zone and relatively deprived locality. On-street parking directly outside is unrestricted; mobile signal and broadband are strong. Overall this is a characterful, chain-free seaside cottage offering immediate occupancy and scope for modest improvement rather than a major renovation project.
