A freshly renovated Victorian link-detached cottage set directly opposite St Mary’s church green in Old Town, Eastbourne. The current owners have completed a comprehensive update including a brand-new fitted kitchen with skylight, a modern shower room with skylight, external redecoration and a new Glow-worm combi boiler — all combining period charm with immediate move-in readiness. At about 732 sq ft the house feels larger than its footprint suggests thanks to a long triple-aspect living/dining room and a galleried landing that brings light throughout.
Practical benefits include UPVC double glazing, mains gas central heating to radiators, built-in storage and USB sockets throughout. The property’s historic character (former bakery premises) and corner position provide notable kerb appeal and a pleasant outlook over the church green. Two double bedrooms make this an economical choice for first-time buyers or couples seeking an easy-to-manage town base with excellent local shops, parks and transport links within walking distance.
Buyers should note material facts: there is no conventional rear garden, only a low-maintenance front bed and a narrow enclosed patio side area. The house is constructed of solid brick (assumed without cavity insulation) and the EPC is rated E; buyers planning significant energy upgrades may wish to factor insulation works into future budgets. Appliances, heating and hot water systems have not been tested.
Sold freehold and offered with no onward chain, this well-presented cottage suits someone seeking a characterful, low-maintenance home in a central location. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting, layout and recent high-quality finishes.
