This spacious one-bedroom first-floor flat sits in the heart of Bexhill town centre, moments from the beach and train station. High ceilings and large windows create a bright living room and dual-aspect double bedroom, giving the feel of a larger home. The fitted kitchen, bathroom and gas central heating make it move-in ready for a single occupant or couple.
Important lease information and location-context are decisive here. The property has 75 years remaining on the lease — short enough that many mortgage lenders may refuse finance unless the lease is extended. Buyers should budget for lease renewal costs and seek mortgage pre-approval or a solicitor’s advice before committing.
Practical running costs are attractive: an EPC rating of C, low council tax (Band A), modest ground rent and a below-average service charge. The building is Victorian with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and sits above or adjacent to town-centre commercial uses, which brings convenience but also a busier streetscape. Local crime statistics are notably high; consider security and insurance implications.
For a first-time buyer, this apartment offers coastal convenience and clear value if you can resolve the lease issue. It will suit someone prioritising location, living space and low immediate costs, and who is prepared to handle or fund a lease extension and any period-property improvements.
