Summary - 224, Old London Road, HASTINGS TN34 3NS
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Private entrance and rear garden near stations and town centre.
Freehold to the entire building included
This ground-floor, one-bedroom flat comes with its own private entrance and a terraced rear garden, sold with the entire freehold for the building. The living room and bedroom look across rooftops to Ecclesbourne Glenn and offer distant sea views; the kitchen-diner is a practical 14ft space and the bathroom has a modern suite. At around 517 sq ft the accommodation is an average-sized flat suitable for a single occupant, couple or a lettable buy-to-let.
Location is a clear draw: positioned between Hastings town centre and Ore Village, the property is close to local shops, bus routes and Ore train station. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local primary schools are rated Good, supporting either rental demand or a convenient base for town amenities.
Buyers must note a material leasing issue: the lease on the flat below has only 58 years remaining. Mortgage lenders commonly refuse mortgages on properties with short leases, so this will likely require a cash buyer or an early lease extension (costs and process not included). Maintenance is shared 50/50 with the lower flat as required, and structural fabric suggests timber-frame construction with partial insulation—expect retrofit or improvement work if upgrading heating and thermal performance.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, which affects running costs; council tax is low (Band B). For investors or buyers comfortable managing a lease extension and modest refurbishment, the combination of freehold ownership, private garden and good local connections creates clear upside. Those requiring mortgage finance should obtain lender confirmation before committing.
