Set within a handsome Victorian building adjacent to Devonshire Tennis Club, this two-bedroom garden flat offers character features and practical transport links to London, Brighton and Gatwick. The bay-windowed living room with a fireplace and high ceilings brings natural light and period charm to everyday living. Hard-wired fibre internet, mains gas central heating and a separate W.C. add modern convenience for a first home or commuter base.
The accommodation includes two rear-facing double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a kitchenette fitted with integrated appliances and space for laundry and a dishwasher. The property comes with a share of freehold and a long lease, reducing ground-rent uncertainty and supporting longer-term ownership.
Buyers should note the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks wall insulation, which can affect heating costs and comfort without retrofit. The wider area records very high crime and notable deprivation; prospective purchasers should consider local safety and community factors alongside the flat’s transport and amenity benefits.
Overall, this apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking affordable entry into Eastbourne with period character, a private garden and excellent connectivity, while being realistic about energy-efficiency work and local area challenges.
