This first-floor two-bedroom flat sits above shop premises in central Bexhill, a short walk from the station, main shopping streets and the seafront. The generous 18'10 south-facing lounge and high ceilings in the principal room give a feeling of space uncommon for town-centre conversions. The apartment is ready to occupy with a fitted kitchen, shower-over-bath and uPVC double glazing throughout.
Practical running costs and tenure are straightforward: a long lease (around 106 years remaining), EPC rated C and electric central heating via an electric boiler and radiators. The property has clear buy-to-let or owner-occupier potential for a first-time buyer seeking town-centre convenience and rental income prospects.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly: the building is Victorian solid-brick construction with assumed minimal wall insulation, and the local area records very high crime levels and general deprivation. There is no private outdoor space or allocated parking, and communal maintenance/service charges and ground rent apply (around £2,600 maintenance and £150 ground rent per year).
Overall this flat is a practical, well-located starter home or small investment, offering good internal space for the price but requiring acceptance of urban living conditions and ongoing communal costs. Those prioritising coastal access and transport links will value the location; buyers seeking quiet, low-crime suburbs or private gardens should look elsewhere.
