No-onward-chain, three-bedroom semi in Eastbourne offering practical family living and clear renovation potential. The house is extended and includes a conservatory, detached garage, driveway parking and decent front and rear gardens — useful for families, commuters or buy-to-let buyers wanting immediate access to the market.
Internally the layout provides a bay-fronted lounge, dining room, kitchen and conservatory plus three bedrooms and a bathroom. The property has gas central heating to radiators and double glazing, but some systems are dated (back boiler) and the EPC is rated E, so efficiency improvements would add value and reduce running costs.
Constructed in the 1930–49 period with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and older double glazing, the house will suit buyers comfortable with updating cosmetic and thermal elements. Its freehold tenure, low council tax band and fast broadband make it particularly attractive to first-time buyers and investors seeking rental income with scope for enhancement.
The location is convenient: Eastbourne area close to Darlington station and local amenities. Street-level crime and area deprivation are average; flooding risk is low. Buyers should budget for typical mid-century refurbishment and potential insulation or heating upgrades to improve comfort and EPC rating.
