A bright, ground-floor one-bedroom flat with original Victorian features and high ceilings, set directly opposite Cornwallis Gardens. The bay-window living room and generous bedroom give a sense of space unusual for a one-bed apartment, and the layout includes a separate kitchen, shower room and separate W.C. The property totals about 468 sq ft, suitable for a single buyer or couple seeking an affordable central Hastings base.
Practical positives include a long lease of around 150 years, chain-free sale and very low council tax. The flat is a short walk from the train station, seafront and town centre amenities, making commuting and local leisure easy. Service charges are modest at approximately £500 per year.
Buyers should note this is an older building with solid brick walls likely lacking modern insulation, and heating is by electric storage heaters which can be costly to run. The surrounding area is described as very deprived with a very high local crime rate; buyers should factor neighbourhood considerations into their decision.
Overall this is an entry-level, characterful property with strong location benefits and clear scope to upgrade insulation, décor and heating. It will suit someone looking for a convenient, affordable flat to live in or to refurbish and improve over time.
