Set across the top two floors of a handsome period terrace, this two-bedroom maisonette balances character features with compact, efficient living. High ceilings and period proportions give the principal rooms a bright, airy feel, while the reception room and two double bedrooms make it practical for first-time buyers or rental investors.
The location is a key selling point: a short walk to Hastings mainline station and town centre amenities, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for modern working needs. The property comes with a long lease and a share of freehold, offering ownership stability rarely found at this price point.
Buyers should note the property is small at 594 sq ft with no private outdoor space, and the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated. Double glazing is older and the EPC is D, so there is scope for energy-efficiency improvements. The neighbourhood scores high for convenience but also records a very high crime rate and notable area deprivation, which will be important for residents and investors to consider.
Overall, this maisonette suits a buyer seeking an affordable, characterful home or a centrally located rental with commuting convenience. The layout and condition allow for straightforward cosmetic updates to enhance comfort and reduce running costs over time.
