Set over four stories in the heart of Hastings Old Town, this Grade II listed mid-terrace townhouse blends Georgian proportions with Victorian detail. High ceilings, broad floorboards and original fireplaces sit alongside carefully chosen contemporary finishes — cast-iron radiators, oak shelving and a well-appointed kitchen with Brazilian granite worktops. The layout suits family life with formal reception space, an open-plan kitchen/dining area and four double bedrooms across the upper floors.
Outdoor space is a sunny private courtyard finished with hardwood decking and two useful outhouses, one currently housing an extra oven for entertaining. The top-floor bedroom at the rear enjoys a rooftop sea view. There is significant unfloored loft space offering scope for conversion (subject to listed-building and planning constraints) and a cellar providing practical storage.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed and lies within a conservation area — alterations will be restricted and listed-status maintenance obligations apply. The property is constructed of solid brick with no assumed wall insulation; the EPC is D. Broadband can be standard speeds (17/1 Mbps) locally though ultrafast options are available. The neighbourhood is lively and culturally rich but records higher crime and area deprivation indicators; the house is not suitable for wheelchair access due to its multi-storey layout.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking character, central convenience and entertaining space in Hastings Old Town — families wanting community amenities and easy rail links, and buyers prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities and carry out targeted energy or upgrade works.
