Low-maintenance, characterful split-level home near West Hill and Old Town.
Top-floor flat with far-reaching coastal and town views
Set on the top levels of a Victorian townhouse, this well-presented one-bedroom split-level flat offers striking, far-reaching views from a 19'1" lounge/dining room and sits just 160 metres from West Hill. The property is arranged over multiple levels, providing a roomy feel and a versatile top landing currently used as a home office. The double bedroom is a good size and the fitted kitchen and bathroom are functional and low maintenance.
Practical running costs are clear: a long lease (approximately 154 years remaining), a small ground rent of £30, and an annual service charge of about £1,900 (25.78% share of maintenance costs). On-street resident parking keeps ownership simple but there is no private garden — the flat is low-maintenance and suited to someone who values proximity to green space and the Old Town amenities.
Location is a strong selling point for first-time buyers wanting coastal life and convenience. The Old Town is an 11-minute walk with cafes, shops and attractions; local transport links and fast broadband support commuting or working from home. Be aware the immediate area records high crime levels and sits in a very deprived ward; buyers should consider this alongside the property’s positives and check local services and insurance implications.
Overall, this flat offers an affordable entry into Hastings with generous living spaces, characterful period features and easy access to coastline and town. It will suit buyers seeking a distinctive layout, low upkeep and strong local amenities, while those concerned about area safety or communal costs should factor these into their decision.
