This bright first-floor Victorian flat offers a compact, characterful two-bedroom home or lettable investment in central St Leonards. The bay-fronted living room and high ceilings give a feeling of space and light, while an open-plan kitchen-living arrangement suits modern living and socialising. The property is chain free, sold with a share of freehold and a long new lease (999 years), simplifying ownership.
Positioned within walking distance of the seafront, local shops, galleries and St Leonards mainline station (under 90 minutes to London), the location is the primary draw for commuters or buyers seeking seaside amenities. The building retains period features such as bay windows and decorative gables which add character and appeal to renters or buyers looking for a period conversion.
Buyers should note material limitations: the flat is small (c. 499–657 sq ft reported), with no private garden and only on-street parking. The wider area records very high crime levels and significant deprivation, factors that may affect resale value, rental demand and insurance costs. Internal condition and fixtures are not specified, so some updating or refurbishment may be required.
Overall this property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking an affordable entry into St Leonards with strong transport and amenity links, and who is comfortable with a compact layout and the local area’s social challenges. Viewing is recommended to assess condition and suitability for personal use or letting.
