A bright two-bedroom lower ground floor apartment in the heart of St Leonards, offered chain free and with a private entrance and courtyard. Set in a Victorian mid-terrace, the home benefits from high ceilings, solid brick construction and generous windows that help light reach the lower-ground rooms. The living space is practical with room for dining; the kitchen is functional and opens to the courtyard for fresh air and outdoor seating.
Practical details suit buyers seeking a central location: the seafront, shops, cafés and the train station are all within walking distance. The apartment comes with a share of the freehold and an EPC rating of C, and council tax is very low — useful running-cost advantages for first-time buyers.
Buyers should note material considerations plainly. The flat sits on a 99-year lease started in 2003, leaving around 77 years remaining — this may restrict mortgage options and will likely need lease-extension discussion early. The service charge is £2,124 per year and the building shows signs of age typical of Victorian construction (solid walls likely uninsulated), so some updating or maintenance may be required. Broadband speeds are reported slow; crime levels are above average and the immediate area scores as very deprived, which should factor into resale or letting plans.
Overall, this apartment suits someone wanting a centrally located, characterful home with private outside space and scope for cosmetic improvement. It offers immediate use as a comfortable city-base but will reward buyers prepared to manage lease matters and carry out targeted upgrades.
