Perched on White Rock Road, this second-floor apartment delivers uninterrupted sea views across Hastings Pier and the coastline. The open-plan living and kitchen flow onto a private balcony — a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening sunsets. Two double bedrooms (one with re-fitted en-suite) and a modern family bathroom make the layout comfortable and low-maintenance for retirement living.
Practical features include lift access, an integral garage, a private ground-floor store room, gas central heating and UPVC tilt-and-turn double glazing. The block offers a long lease (999 years) with a share of the freehold and a reasonable annual service charge of around £1,950. The apartment is sold chain-free and sits within walking distance of Hastings station, Priory Meadow and local amenities.
This property is being marketed with the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60+, which typically reduces the upfront cost (example guide price £217,750 based on a 33% saving). Customers can buy a percentage share of the property (up to 50%) to preserve value for the future; exact price varies by age and circumstances. If not using the Lifetime Lease, the full market price is £325,000.
Important considerations: the surrounding area records very high crime levels and significant area deprivation, which may affect resale and day-to-day feel. Broadband speeds are average; the block is a system-built construction from the 1980s, so prospective buyers should verify building condition and services. All buyers should confirm tenure, service charge details and appliance condition with their solicitor.
