Chain-free, large three-bedroom top-floor flat with long lease and period character.
Private entrance; whole top-floor three-bedroom conversion
Very long lease (900+ years) — secure tenure
Spacious double-aspect lounge and three double bedrooms
Refitted kitchen and modern shower room; double glazing
Single bathroom for three bedrooms; top-floor access only (no lift)
Timber-frame walls recorded; no assumed insulation — potential costs
EPC rating E; local crime levels higher than average
Service charge £420 (below average)
This top-floor, three-bedroom converted apartment occupies the entire upper floor of an attractive Edwardian detached house in the Saffrons area of Eastbourne. The layout is flexible — three double bedrooms, a large double-aspect lounge/dining room and a separate snug/study — suited to family life, home working or sharers. The flat benefits from a private ground-floor entrance, mix of sash and double-glazed windows and a recently refitted shower room and kitchen.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (900+ years), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing and a below-average service charge. The apartment’s generous room sizes and light from multiple aspects make it feel larger than many top-floor conversions; the 1,116 sq ft internal area is a standout for a flat of this type.
Important considerations are stated plainly: the property is leasehold, there is a single bathroom for three double bedrooms, and the building’s timber-frame construction is recorded with no assumed cavity insulation. The Energy Performance Rating is E. The top-floor position means stair access only — no lift — and the wider area records higher-than-average crime levels, which may concern some buyers.
Situated within comfortable walking distance of Gildredge Park and Eastbourne town centre, this apartment suits buyers seeking period character and space close to local amenities and schools. It will particularly appeal to families wanting room to grow or buyers seeking a large, chain-free city flat with long-term tenure and scope for cosmetic updating.
