This characterful Victorian mid-terrace offers a compact, well-located home a short walk from Eastbourne seafront, town centre and mainline station. The property has two double bedrooms, a bright front lounge and an open-plan kitchen/dining room with French doors to a sunny, low-maintenance paved courtyard — ideal for easy outdoor living without heavy upkeep.
The interior is neutrally decorated and largely tidy, giving a clear canvas for cosmetic modernisation. Wooden and laminate floors run through the principal rooms, and useful understairs storage helps maximise space. The house is chain-free and freehold, which simplifies the purchase for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a city-centre starter property with strong rental or holiday-let potential given the seaside location and transport links.
There are important practical issues to note: the small outbuilding houses the gas boiler but it is reported as not working, and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated — upgrades to heating and insulation are likely required. The area records high local deprivation and very high crime statistics, which will affect long-term desirability and rental yields; buyers should consider a full survey and factor refurbishment and safety improvements into budgets.
Overall, this is a sensible, affordable entry into Eastbourne living for someone prepared to carry out some essential upgrades. Its proximity to the seafront, shops, schools and excellent transport connections makes it an attractive proposition for first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable project close to amenities.
