Summary - 15 SOUTHAMPTON CLOSE EASTBOURNE BN23 5RP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright seaside flat with parking — cash buyers or lease-extension needed.
Top-floor one-bedroom apartment with bay-front lounge
Light-filled top-floor apartment in Sovereign Harbour, offered in tidy condition and ready to move into. The bay-front lounge creates a bright living and dining space; the double bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and there are two storage cupboards plus a part-boarded loft for extra space. An allocated off-street parking space and communal gardens add practical convenience for seaside living.
This property is best suited to a cash buyer or a buyer able to extend the lease, as there are 68 years remaining and many mortgage lenders will refuse to lend. Annual costs include a service charge (approx. £1,705.58), ground rent (£285) and a harbour charge (£283.39), which should be factored into affordability calculations.
Heating is by electric storage radiators and the property has double glazing; these are straightforward but mean running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. The block was built in the late 1990s and is presented well, but any buyer wanting long-term security should investigate lease-extension costs and service arrangements.
Location is a genuine selling point: short walks to the beachfront, harbour, shops, cafes and bus links to Eastbourne and rail services. For downsizers or seaside lifestyle seekers with cash or bridging finance, this is a comfortable, low-maintenance flat in a popular seafront precinct. Be aware the local area records higher crime and relative deprivation, so check local data if this is a priority.
