- Newly renovated interior with fresh decor and new flooring
- Long lease: 999 years from January 2008 (986 years remaining)
- Very low council tax band A
- Heating via electric room heaters; no central heating
- Timber-frame walls likely without insulation; check for works

Set on the fourth floor of a Victorian terrace on St. Leonards seafront, this newly renovated two-bedroom flat delivers bright living space and framed sea views from the reception room. Fresh decoration and new flooring create a move-in-ready feel, while a modern separate kitchen and bathroom provide practical everyday comfort.
The property benefits from an exceptionally long lease (999 years from 2008) and very low council tax. Its position directly opposite the promenade and beach, with shops, cafés and mainline stations close by, suits commuters and those who value coastal living. Broadband speeds are slow, but mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note material practical issues: heating is by electric room heaters (no central gas), the building has timber-frame walls with assumed lack of insulation, and glazing install dates are unknown. The local area records higher crime and very high deprivation levels, which may affect resale and rental demand. There is currently no formal service charge or ground rent; occupants contribute to a communal group fund as needed, but this arrangement should be confirmed with solicitors.
Overall this flat will appeal to first-time buyers or purchasers seeking an affordable seafront home with immediate presentation and significant potential, provided they accept electric heating, modest building fabric concerns and the neighbourhood’s wider challenges. A survey is recommended to clarify insulation, services and any structural considerations.
