Summary - 5, Hardwick Road, EASTBOURNE BN21 4NY
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Bright open-plan home near seafront and transport links.
Chain free, 10-year new-build warranty included
Set within a sympathetically restored Victorian villa in the Devonshire Quarter, this second-floor two-bedroom apartment combines period proportions with a contemporary finish. The open-plan living area is bright, benefitting from three large front windows and high ceilings, while sleek fitted kitchens and luxurious bathrooms (underfloor heating in wet rooms) give the flat a low-maintenance, modern feel.
Practical benefits include gas central heating with modern combi boilers, double glazing, a dedicated bicycle storage area, landscaped communal gardens and a 10-year new-build warranty. The development is offered chain free and purchasers will receive a share of the freehold once all apartments are sold, an attractive long-term ownership prospect. The property is well placed for the seafront, town centre, train station and local theatres — a short walk to local amenities and transport links.
Buyers should note material considerations alongside the positives. The flat is leasehold (125 years remaining) and sits in an area recorded with very high crime and relative deprivation; buyers prioritising security or quiet may wish to research local crime-prevention measures. The building’s solid-brick construction likely offers limited original wall insulation (assumed), which may affect heat retention despite the double glazing and new boilers. Internal space is efficiently arranged but rooms are small-to-average rather than generously proportioned.
Overall, this apartment suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a centrally located seaside property with contemporary fixtures and period character. It presents a straightforward, low-maintenance home or a rental let in a prime town location, provided buyers accept the urban context and take practical steps on security and insulation if desired.
