Chain-free basement flat with private garden — ideal cash buyers or investors seeking renovation potential in Hastings..
Private rear garden — rare for a flat
Set on Priory Road in Hastings, this chain-free basement garden flat offers a compact, versatile one-bedroom home with a private rear garden — a rare asset for flat living. The accommodation extends to about 519 sq ft and includes a double bedroom, a generous front reception room and a separate kitchen and bathroom. The property has period character from the Victorian terrace but would benefit from updating throughout.
This is a clear opportunity for cash buyers or investors prepared to carry out modernisation. The flat needs refurbishment and some internal work; ceilings vary and parts of the lower-ground layout can feel characterfully snug. EPC rating is C and council tax band A (very cheap), which helps running costs once refurbished. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Important practical note: the lease has approximately 48 years remaining. That limited term may mean many mortgage lenders refuse to lend, so the property is most suitable for buyers with cash funds or investors experienced in short-lease purchase and extension. The building is solid brick (likely without cavity insulation) and the property sits in a mixed urban area with average crime levels and nearby local amenities.
For an investor this flat offers ready-made rental potential in a popular coastal town; for a single occupant or couple it can become a comfortable pied-à-terre after renovation. Buyers should factor in refurbishment costs and seek specialist legal and lending advice about the lease length before committing.
