A converted ground-floor flat in a period Georgian‑inspired building, Church Hill Lodge offers a compact but characterful home in central Newhaven. High ceilings and a bright living/dining room give a sense of space, while a modern kitchen and shower room reduce immediate maintenance needs. The secluded rear patio is a rare private outdoor space for this location.
Practical details suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors: gas central heating, a long lease (122 years remaining) and a relatively low asking price. Service charges and ground rent apply (approx. £2,132 pa service charge; £150 ground rent) — worth factoring into monthly costs alongside council tax, which is very low.
Be realistic about the area: Newhaven is classified as relatively deprived and local crime is above average. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern properties. The flat’s total floor area is around 417 sq ft — comfortable for one occupant or a couple but limited for more space-demanding needs.
Viewing is advised to appreciate the ceiling height, natural light and the private patio. This property will suit buyers seeking an affordable, characterful home close to transport links and local amenities, or investors targeting steady rental demand in a central town location.
