Set on the ground floor of a handsome early 20th-century building in sought-after Blacklands, this chain-free two-bedroom flat offers a rare private entrance and rear garden. The apartment has been newly refurbished throughout with a modern fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom, and benefits from high ceilings, large windows and gas central heating — move-in ready for a first-time buyer or couple.
Practical positives include a long lease of around 110 years, UPVC double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The location is convenient for Alexandra Park, local shops and strong transport links into Hastings and the mainline rail services. Council Tax is Band A, making running costs comparatively low.
Buyers should note one bedroom is notably small (approx 3.07m x 1.68m), better suited as a study, nursery or occasional guest room. The property is leasehold; service charges are charged on an as-and-when basis and should be factored into ongoing costs. The wider area shows some social deprivation indicators and a mixed Ofsted picture for nearby schools, though Ark Blacklands Primary is rated outstanding.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful apartment with outdoor space and contemporary finishes, appealing to first-time buyers who prioritise location, low council tax and a long lease, while accepting the compact second bedroom and leasehold management considerations.
