Flat 5, East Sussex, TN37 6BY

GUIDE PRICE RANGE: £250,000 - £260,000

There is something reassuringly timeless about this apartment.

Set within one of St Leonards' handsome period seafront buildings, the views immediately draw your attention. The changing colours of the English Channel, the sweep of the coastline and the familiar outline of Hastings Pier become part of daily life here, whether you're starting the morning with coffee by the bay window or watching the weather roll in across the sea.

The apartment sits on the second floor and feels both bright and calm throughout. The open-plan living space works naturally for modern life, allowing cooking, dining and relaxing to happen comfortably within one sociable room, while still keeping the sea firmly centre stage. Solid oak flooring brings warmth underfoot and the large bay window fills the room with natural light throughout the day.

Both bedrooms are genuine doubles. The principal bedroom is positioned at the rear of the building, creating a noticeably peaceful retreat away from the seafront activity, with extensive bespoke floor-to-ceiling storage already in place. The second bedroom enjoys the same wonderful coastal outlook as the living space, making it equally well suited as a guest room, workspace for those working from home, or an additional bedroom.

The bathroom has been updated in a clean, contemporary style, while electric central heating, double glazing and the solid construction of this period building provide comfort through the colder months. The property is offered chain free, making the moving process that little bit simpler.

Life here is as much about the location as it is about the apartment itself. From the front door, St Leonards' independent cafés, restaurants, galleries and local shops are all within walking distance. The mainline station is nearby too, offering direct connections into London, making this a practical choice for commuters, weekenders and those seeking a permanent move to the coast.

The apartment has also provided the current owners with a successful rental income in recent years, demonstrating its broad appeal and versatility. Whether purchased as a full-time home, a coastal retreat or with an eye on future letting potential, it offers flexibility that is increasingly hard to find in such a well-positioned seafront location.

What the current owners have loved most is the sense of light and space, the ever-changing sea views and the quietness of the principal bedroom. It is a home that feels connected to the coastline while still offering a peaceful place to come back to at the end of the day.

NOTE: The property is leasehold with approximately 900 years remaining and also benefits from a one-eighth share of the freehold. There is no ground rent payable, service charges are currently approximately £2,000 per annum, and residents share access to the building's common parts. On-street parking is available nearby.
