This neat one-bedroom ground-floor apartment sits in the popular Upperton area, an easy walk from Waitrose, the Old Town and Eastbourne mainline station. It has its own private entrance, use of a communal garden and tasteful modern decor throughout, with high ceilings and period bay windows giving a sense of space despite the compact footprint (approx. 449 sq ft).
The flat benefits from double glazing and electric storage heating, making it straightforward to run, though the building’s solid brick walls likely lack insulation and the heating is electric only. The lease has 94 years remaining; tenure is leasehold with an annual ground rent of £100 and maintenance carried out on an “as and when” basis.
This property will be sold at auction via Secure Sale online bidding (terms and conditions apply). It suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a central, low-maintenance pied-à-terre with good local amenities and fast broadband, but buyers should factor in the limited lease length, potential retrofit costs for insulation/heating, and above-average local crime levels.
Council tax sits in Band A (very cheap). Viewing is by appointment. All factual details are provided to help buyers assess suitability before bidding.
