Set on the hall floor of a white-painted Victorian terrace on Howard Square, this two-bedroom flat sits moments from Eastbourne seafront and the theatre district. The open-plan lounge/kitchen with tall ceilings and sash-style windows gives a bright, airy feel, while two double bedrooms suit a downsizer wanting main-floor convenience or an investor seeking a seaside rental. The building presents period character externally with modern interior fittings and integrated kitchen appliances.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (reported as 991 years) and a share in the freehold, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The flat is offered in modern condition throughout, with a fitted kitchen, bathroom with shower-over-bath and gas boiler heating via radiators. On-street residents’ permit parking is available and council tax is low.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the property is leasehold (additional leasehold packs and admin fees may apply), ground rent is listed as to be confirmed, and there is an annual service charge (listing indicates around £2,545.56). There is no private garden — outdoor space is limited to the public lawn/promenade — and parking is on-street only. Local crime levels are reported as high; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves on security and local conditions.
This flat will suit buyers seeking compact, seaside living with period character but modern convenience — particularly downsizers who prefer a main-floor home close to amenities, or landlords targeting coastal short-term and long-term lets. Verify service charge, ground rent and communal arrangements during due diligence.
