Set in the heart of Hastings Old Town, this Victorian fisherman’s cottage packs distinctive period character and far-reaching sea views into a compact, easy-to-manage home. A dual-aspect lounge-dining room with a wood-burning stove and bi-folding doors opens onto a secluded rear courtyard, while the well-equipped kitchen features quartz worktops and a large picture window framing the East Hill lift.
Arranged over two floors, the cottage offers two double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom with both bath and separate shower. The principal bedroom delivers particularly long-range views across the Old Town to the sea and Beachy Head — a rare and appealing feature for such a central Old Town property. Both a small walled front garden and the rear courtyard provide low-maintenance outdoor space tucked away from the street.
Practical realities are clear: the home has a modest 533 sq ft footprint and a very small plot, so it’s best suited to a single occupant, couple, first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a low-maintenance pied-à-terre or holiday let. The building’s solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated and may benefit from energy-efficiency works. There’s no garage or substantial garden space, and the surrounding area is recorded as relatively deprived with higher local crime levels — factors to weigh alongside the cottage’s lifestyle advantages.
Overall this is a characterful, centrally located freehold property that offers immediate Old Town living and excellent views, with scope for targeted upgrades (insulation, energy improvements) to enhance comfort and running costs. Council Tax Band B and no flood risk add practical reassurance for buyers looking for a compact coastal home or rental opportunity.
