Summary - 1 LOWER FLAT OLD ORCHARD ROAD EASTBOURNE BN21 1DB
6 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free investment with immediate rental income and parking.
Two self-contained units: 2-bed ground flat and 4-bed maisonette above
A substantial Edwardian semi with flexible income potential, currently arranged as two self-contained units: a ground-floor two-bedroom flat with private garden and a four-bedroom maisonette above. Both flats are let on assured shorthold tenancies, offering immediate rental income and the option to retain as an investment, operate as a home-plus-income, or to recombine into a single family house (subject to planning).
The property retains period red-brick character externally and benefits from allocated off-street parking for both units and a decent rear garden. Practical features include secondary glazing and LPG-fired central heating to radiators. Chain free sale simplifies transfer for a buyer seeking a buy-to-let asset or refurbishment project in a well-served area of Eastbourne.
Known drawbacks are straightforward and important for buyers: the building’s cavity walls appear to have no added insulation (assumed), heating uses LPG rather than mains gas, and the property lies adjacent to a large institutional/commercial building which may reduce privacy. The neighbourhood records higher crime levels than average; prospective purchasers should factor this into rental expectations and insurance costs. Internal services and measurements are unverified — a survey is recommended.
This is a pragmatic proposition for investors or buyers comfortable with maintenance and possible upgrade works. The current layout keeps administration simple for a lettings portfolio, while the building’s size and planning flexibility present clear potential for improvement and capital growth with targeted refurbishment.
