This ground-floor one-bedroom flat occupies a bay-fronted Victorian conversion close to St Leonards mainline station. Interiors feel larger than the overall footprint suggests, with high ceilings, large bay windows to front and rear, and a separate fitted kitchen—good natural light and straightforward layout suit a single occupant or couple.
Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing and on-street parking. The property is offered chain-free and has a modest annual service charge and low council tax banding, which keeps running costs down. Proximity to transport links and local amenities gives clear rental or commuter appeal.
Important drawbacks are material: the flat is leasehold with approximately 80 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders restrict or refuse lending at this lease length, so buyers should obtain legal verification and expect lease-extension costs. The wider area scores as very deprived with higher local crime levels, which will affect resale and lettability.
Overall this flat suits a cash buyer, a seasoned investor used to short leases, or a first-time buyer prepared to manage a lease extension. It offers period character and scope for cosmetic modernisation but requires careful due diligence on lease terms and local market considerations before committing.
