A rare investment lot in Summerdown: two interconnecting Edwardian semi‑detached houses offered as one large freehold unit. The combined footprint provides eleven bedrooms plus communal rooms across three floors — a clear revenue-driving layout for HMO use or conversion to multi-let apartments.
Practical features include double glazing and mains gas central heating, paved front gardens and a modest rear lawn with two sheds. The property is chain free and sits in a very affluent pocket of Eastbourne, close to good schools and local amenities — attractive for tenants or owner-occupiers seeking space near town.
Important considerations: external amenity is limited and the house has only two shower rooms/WCs for eleven bedrooms, so further investment is likely required to meet modern HMO licensing and tenant expectations. Parts of the interior will benefit from modernization and potential reconfiguration to improve communal facilities, safety compliance and rental yields.
This listing appeals most to experienced investors or developers who want a large, period property with immediate lettable scale and scope for added value through refurbishment, reconfiguring bathrooms, and upgrading services. Buyers should carry out full checks on services, planning and HMO licensing, and budget for refurbishment works where needed.
