Solid brick construction; likely no wall insulation, may need upgrading
Set on Eastbourne’s seafront, this third-floor period apartment offers direct views towards the Pier and easy walking access to the town centre and train station. The building retains Victorian character—high ceilings, bay windows and an ornate balcony—and the flat benefits from gas central heating, a lift and a very long 990‑year lease.
Internally the layout provides three bedrooms, a large living room, a bathroom and an en suite within about 686 sq ft. The size and traditional proportions will suit buyers wanting generous room volumes for family living or shared occupation. Broadband and mobile coverage are reported good, and council tax costs are relatively low.
Buyers should note material considerations: the neighbourhood has a very high crime rate and is in a very deprived area classification, which may affect resale and rental demand. The building is older (c.1900–1929) with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation. Service charges average £1,500 per year and the property will be sold by auction under the Modern Method of Auction, with a reservation fee and buyer pack costs payable on completion.
This is a CHAIN-FREE opportunity suited to first-time buyers seeking seaside living or investors targeting holiday-let or rented income close to amenities. The apartment is habitable but will reward cosmetic updating and insulation work to improve comfort and efficiency.
