A Location to Love
You'll find the property nestled in an established tree-lined residential street only a few minutes by foot from Eastbourne station - perfect for commuters - and the thriving independents lining the Victorian streets of Little Chelsea.
We're told the area has a very neighbourly feel, with its own lively WhatsApp group and a community spirit that was responsible for planting new cherry trees along the road. With a share of freehold, a 990-year lease (from 2005) and no ground rent, the building is managed by its long-term owners, who have private access to the flats, making this a secure investment.
Welcome Home
Arriving at the apartment, you're greeted by a traditional Edwardian exterior featuring mock timber gables, sashes with divided top sections, decorative hanging tiles, red-brick quoins framing white pebbledash, and a prominent bay window. A low brick wall hugs a planted shrub border and a block-paved driveway with space for two cars (laid mid-2017). Meanwhile, a wrought-iron gate opens onto a shared access pathway.
Inside, you'll discover elegant and airy rooms, where original features such as high coved ceilings and panelling cry out to be paired with beautiful pieces of bespoke furniture, artwork and joinery. Primarily painted in Crown 'Summer Linen' and with plush pale taupe carpets fitted in 2016, the décor combines with the generous period proportions to bring a modern feel to the apartment while highlighting its heritage.
Explore Within
The charm begins in the recessed entrance porch, which is enhanced by original tiles underfoot and a traditional panelled door with glazed panes, an ornate letterbox, and a stained-glass transom window.
Beyond, double doors with stained glass panels and an arched transom signal the end of the entrance hallway, where tall walls trimmed with coving and dado and picture rails draw the eye to a central chandelier fitting.
At the same time, wooden floorboards and wall hooks create a practical space for removing coats and shoes before entering the main living areas, accessed from the grand and spacious reception hall just ahead. Here, the linen and pale taupe tones beautifully offset the dramatic corniced ceiling, tall skirting boards, picture rails and a gorgeous rose adorning a chandelier.
The character features, neutral walls, and soft cream carpet flow into the sitting room through another set of part-glazed double doors. Flooded with light by a panelled bay window and French doors set beneath a sweeping arch, it's a room for all seasons.
In autumn and winter, the regularly swept Chesneys Beaumont 5WS Series wood burner (2016/17) creates instant cosiness, while in the summer, why not fold back the fitted wooden shutters and open the garden doors or linger over a book plucked from the bespoke alcove shelves?
The adjoining kitchen - fitted in 2017 by a carpenter - is brightened by a substantial canted bay with fitted wooden shutters and original panelling to the dining area, while another chandelier-bearing rose and decorative trimmings backdrop wrap-around Howdens cabinetry with wooden worktops, under-lighting, and a striking lime-green splashback. White-painted floorboards also help to reflect the extra light streaming in via a side window and back door with wooden shutters.
Integrating appliances remaining with the property include a stainless-steel range cooker with an induction hob and extractor hood, a Hotpoint dishwasher (with an extra door in the cellar), a new concealed Beko fridge-freezer, and a washing machine. There's also a fabulous double butler sink for washing and peeling veggies.
En Suite Luxury
The super-king-sized master lies behind a stained-glass door to the front of the apartment. Once again, the character features seen throughout abound, while a wide southwest-facing bay and a separate window draw in sunlight from noon onwards -simply close the white wooden shutters for sleeping.
Continuing into the en suite, you'll find three full-height cupboards for storing towels and toiletries and a big frosted window for light and privacy. Refurbished in 2022, it also contains a tall chrome heated towel rail, a corner shower enclosure, new tiling, a basin vanity unit and a close-coupled toilet.
Next, another fantastic-sized double enjoys access to a modern three-piece en suite, retiled and fitted with a new rainfall shower in 2018. In the bedroom, a fabulous sloped skylight pairs with a large side window with wooden shutters and décor and detailing to match the sitting room and master bedroom. Meanwhile, the ornately decorated panelled corner wardrobe adds a certain charm while being practical.
Finally, the newly refurbished third bathroom at the end of the reception hall is convenient for guests and ideal for families. 'Limerick' green walls and striped metro tiles bring a warm and stylish edge to the pristine white sanitaryware, including a deep bathtub, vanity basin unit, and close-coupled loo. There's also a chrome heated towel rail.
The large, sole-use cellar is accessed via steps to the side of the house. It has power and lighting, plenty of sockets, in-built storage and a workbench, so it's perfect for using a workshop or converting into a gym or studio. The annually serviced Valiant combi-boiler (installed in Dec 2016) and spare tiles for the bathroom are also housed here.
A Secluded Haven
Stepping out from the kitchen, you'll see a secure side gate to the left, separating you from the shared access pathway running along the side. Follow the original tiled pathway, trimmed with mature borders, to arrive at a large paved terrace overlooking a well-kept lawn shaded by the neighbouring copper beech and enclosed by brick walls.
The colourful and varied low-maintenance planting scheme edging the garden includes shrubs such as acers, euonymus, pyracantha, photinias, aucuba and camellias. Sit and watch the seasons pass with a coffee on the terrace, where the sun hits in the morning, before moving across to the rear crazy-paved patio leading to two handy sheds and a wood store.
Out & About
Eastbourne is a town and seaside resort in East Sussex, on the south coast of England, 19 miles east of Brighton and 54 miles south of London.
Immediately east of Beachy Head, the highest chalk sea cliff in Great Britain and part of the larger Eastbourne Downland Estate, the town is well-known for the quaint Victorian streets of Little Chelsea, five miles of bustling seafront thronged with great restaurants, a three-tier promenade and a Victorian pier.
To the west of the town, Meads Village - with its artisan buildings and thriving high street - offers a parade of shops, a post office, restaurants, cafés, excellent pubs and a parish hall.
Within a short walk from your door, you'll discover a well-regarded GP practice, the annual pre-Wimbledon tennis tournament at Devonshire Park Lawn Tennis Club in June, the Airbourne four-day airshow in August, two theatres and the Towner Art Gallery, which recently hosted the Turner Prize.
The current owner also recommends Gildredge Park for picnicking, tennis and dog-friendly trails; strolling into Little Chelsea for favourite independents such as Beanzz and Simply Patisserie; picking up artisan bread and popping into the butchers; or sampling brews at the pubs along Grove Road and South Street.
The Royal Eastbourne Golf Course is also nearby, while Southern line train services from Eastbourne station will deliver you to London Bridge and London Victoria in 90 minutes.
The location is great for schooling, too, with Eastbourne College only 8 minutes on foot and Bede's and St Andrew's preparatory schools just down the road. Beyond the town, Beachy Head and the South Downs National Park are just minutes away by car - alternatively, pack a picnic and walk to the beach just about 0.8 miles away.

Places of interest
Bees Homes was founded in 2017 as a result of a very matter of fact observation: “why don’t we do it and do it better?” Creating an agency where the client truly is at the forefront of everything we did was what drove us. In a world where we are transforming how we live, work, shop and buy property, surely it is time for the estate agency rule book to be rewritten? Ana and Paul started their journey by developing an easy to understand approach, where we attract, engage, and delight our clients by providing them with experiences that are relevant, helpful, and bespoke to them. We had a vision: to create an estate agency that specialises in beautiful and stylish properties, providing the highest quality service; to provide a seamless customer experience across every stage of the selling process, making customers feel looked after at every touch-point. Today, we remain a small independently owned award winning business with the same strong values of quality and customer care as when we started.
