This well-presented one-bedroom first-floor flat sits in Old Town Eastbourne and looks out over Willingdon Golf Course. The double-aspect living room opens onto a sun balcony, delivering pleasant natural light and a clear view across communal lawns — a rare benefit for town flats. The fitted kitchen and modern bathroom are in good order, and gas central heating with double glazing keeps the apartment comfortable year-round.
The apartment is practical for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor: compact at about 471 sq ft, easy to maintain, and in a quiet block with communal gardens and a storage shed. Council Tax Band A and a low ground rent of £10 are strong running-cost advantages. The internal layout is traditional and straightforward, with built-in bedroom wardrobes and useful hall storage.
There are some material points to note. The property is leasehold with approximately 83 years remaining; buyers should check mortgageability and future lease-extension costs. The EPC rating is D and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, which means heating costs and retrofit work could be considerations. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow — important if you work from home.
An internal viewing will show whether this flat matches your needs: it offers immediate move-in potential with modest running costs, but also scope for energy improvements and long-term value growth in a popular Old Town location.
