Compact, characterful one-bedroom with parking and communal gardens in peaceful Willingdon..
Chain-free one-bedroom first-floor apartment
Quiet and compact, this one-bedroom first-floor apartment sits within a handsome period building and is set in well-kept communal gardens. The flat offers a double bedroom, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and off-street parking — practical features for someone looking to downsize without losing outdoor space. Chain-free sale and a remaining lease of 82 years simplify purchase logistics for an older buyer.
The property’s strengths are its peaceful Willingdon setting, very low local crime, and easy access to nearby amenities including shops, schools and regular bus services. The building dates from the early 20th century and retains period character, which will appeal to buyers who value charm and a mature community feel.
Buyers should note material practicalities: overall size is small (approximately 432 sq ft) and broadband speeds in the area are slow. The walls are solid brick with assumed lack of insulation, so energy efficiency may be lower than modern builds. The leasehold tenure includes a modest ground rent of £30; the lease length (82 years) is sufficient but will be a consideration for mortgage lenders and future sale value.
There is a small, payable identity-check fee of £80 (inc. VAT) required as part of the sales administration. Overall, this apartment is best suited to a downsizer or retirement buyer seeking a low-maintenance, characterful home in a sought-after, peaceful suburb of Eastbourne.
