Ready-to-live one-bedroom close to town and transport links.
Fifth-floor flat with private balcony and strong natural light
Bright fifth-floor one-bedroom apartment with a private balcony, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking move-in-ready accommodation near Eastbourne town centre. The open lounge and large windows fill the space with natural light, while a modern fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom keep day-to-day living straightforward. A large external storage cupboard in the basement adds valuable space that many flats lack.
The block offers lift access and a communal entry phone system, making upper-floor living practical. The long lease (127 years) and EPC grade C are both positives for mortgage and running-cost considerations. Local amenities, good bus links directly outside and Eastbourne station within walking distance suit commuting and social life.
Notable costs and issues are stated plainly: the annual service charge is substantial at around £3,956 and the property is leasehold, so factor these into budgeting. The building’s cavity walls are recorded as having no installed insulation (assumed), and the glazing date is unknown, which could affect heating bills despite the gas boiler and radiators. Crime levels in the area are reported above average; prospective buyers should visit at different times to assess local feel.
Overall this apartment offers a practical, well-proportioned home or rental opportunity in a convenient location, with clear potential for personalising and modest energy improvements. Chain-free sale makes for a straightforward purchase process.
