Summary - Capel Apartments, Albany Road, St Leonard's, TN38 TN38 0LN
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Rare large one‑bed in a Grade II mansion with private garden and parking.
Largest one‑bed in converted 1879 mansion, very generous internal space
Set within a striking 1879 Tudor‑Revival mansion, this unusually large one‑bed apartment offers period grandeur with modern comforts. High 3.5m ceilings, original oak panelling and parquet floors create a spacious, light‑filled living room that comfortably accommodates separate kitchen, dining and seating zones. The property includes a private garden and stone loggia — a rare outdoor haven for a flat in St Leonards — plus allocated off‑street parking.
Fitted kitchen with Corian surfaces and integrated Bosch appliances pairs well with contemporary underfloor heating from a gas boiler. The bedroom has integrated wardrobes and dual-aspect leaded windows; the bathroom retains original tiles alongside modern fittings. Residents benefit from secure communal storage, a dry garage for bikes and impeccably maintained common areas within the converted mansion.
Important practical notes: the building is Grade II listed and lies in a conservation area, which may restrict alterations and "will cause difficulties" for some works. The apartment has a long lease (999 years) and a share of the freehold, but the EPC rating is D and standard broadband speeds are modest (11/1 Mbps) — superfast is available locally. The neighbourhood scores high for deprivation indices despite a growing creative and independent scene and good local transport links to London and Brighton.
This home will suit downsizers or professionals seeking character, generous internal space and a private garden without the maintenance of a house. It is less suitable for buyers wanting unrestricted refurbishment flexibility or guaranteed high baseline broadband speeds.
