Set on the second floor of a modern purpose-built block, this compact studio offers efficient, low-maintenance living moments from Eastbourne town centre and the railway station. The open-plan main room includes a fitted kitchen with integrated oven and hob, plus a contemporary shower room and built-in entrance storage. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make it well suited to commuters or remote workers.
Practical aspects to note: heating is electric room heaters, which can increase running costs compared with gas; the property is leasehold with about 99 years remaining and an annual service charge of approximately £1,300. There is no private outdoor space and the internal area is small (about 312 sq ft), so the layout is best for a single occupant or as a rental unit.
This apartment is offered chain free, making it a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking a central location and low council tax band. The building is mid-century brick construction with communal entrance and limited communal grounds; nearby amenities, shops and transport links are all within easy walking distance.
Buyers should weigh the benefits of location, broadband and low council tax against running costs from electric heating, service charge and local higher crime statistics. Overall, the flat represents an affordable, city-centre entry point to the housing market or a practical rental proposition with immediate tenant appeal.
