This first-floor Victorian conversion on Wellington Road offers an attractive entry-level purchase for first-time buyers seeking character close to Hastings town centre and the seafront. The bay-fronted open-plan living room and kitchen make the most of high ceilings and period proportions, while the rear double bedroom looks toward Alexandra Park for quieter outlooks.
Practical details suit a straightforward purchase: a long lease of 107 years, very low ground rent, and a council tax band A. There is a 360° HDR virtual tour available and the flat is within easy walking distance of the Old Town, shops, restaurants and the mainline railway station.
Buyers should note several material considerations. Heating is by electric room heaters and the main fuel is electricity; the property has solid brick walls with no known insulation which affects running costs and comfort. The EPC rating is D. Service charges are quoted at around £2,000 per year, and the local area records very high crime levels and significant deprivation — factors that may affect resale and rental demand.
Overall this one-bedroom apartment offers period character, a convenient central location and clear scope for cosmetic improvement. It will suit purchasers wanting an affordable first home or an investor prepared to manage running-cost and area-related issues.
