3 bed 2 bath Flat
Spacious three‑bed apartment with balcony, close to seafront and station.
Share of freehold with 999 years remaining lease
Three double bedrooms; master with en‑suite
South‑westerly balcony with partial sea and South Downs views
Service charge includes heating, hot water and buildings insurance
EPC Grade D; double glazing installed pre‑2002
Constructed 1950s–1960s; assumed system walls with no insulation
Area records higher local crime rates; buyers should consider security
Moderate council tax band and average area deprivation
This spacious three-double-bedroom flat sits in an immaculately maintained post‑war block a short walk from Eastbourne town centre, seafront and train station. The apartment offers generous living space with a separate dining room, open-plan reception, modern kitchen/breakfast room and a private south‑westerly balcony with partial sea and South Downs aspects. Ownership includes a share of the freehold and an effectively long lease (999 years remaining).
Practical running costs are partly communal: service charge covers central heating, hot water, water services and buildings insurance. The property benefits from good broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it suitable for home working and family life. Bedrooms 1 and 2 include fitted storage; the master has an en‑suite and there is a separate family bathroom.
Notable drawbacks are factual and material: the building dates from the 1950s–1960s with system-built walls (assumed no cavity insulation) and double glazing installed before 2002, and the EPC rating is D. The communal heating arrangement limits individual boiler control and the area records higher-than-average local crime levels, which may concern some buyers. Council Tax Band D and a moderate level of area deprivation are other practical points to consider.
Overall this is a well‑located, comfortable family apartment with strong transport and seaside access, clear running-cost benefits from the communal service package, and scope for improving energy performance and decorative modernisation to add value.
