Bright, top-floor one-bedroom apartment in central St Leonards, offered with no onward chain. The open-plan living area is the apartment’s standout space (approx. 18'8" x 16'7"), offering room for dining and relaxed living, and receives good natural light from roof/dormer windows. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary units and the bathroom is modern with a shower-over-bath, so the property is largely move-in ready.
The flat sits within a Tudor-revival period building close to Gensing Gardens, local independent shops, cafes, restaurants and the mainline station — strong locational appeal for first-time buyers or a seaside bolt-hole. Total area is approximately 475 sq ft (44.1 sq m), with a living room proportionally generous compared to other rooms.
Practical considerations: the property is electrically heated (room heaters), has a solid brick construction with assumed no wall insulation, and limited storage with restricted headroom at the eaves due to the top-floor/attic layout. Broadband speeds are average and the local area records above-average crime and high deprivation indices; these factors may influence running costs, comfort and resale prospects. Leasehold: share of freehold with c.115 years remaining.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented city apartment that suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting a low-maintenance seaside property. It offers clear short-term usability and good location-driven rental or lifestyle potential, but buyers should note the heating type, limited insulation and modest storage headroom.
