Seafront sanctuary
Originally built to house staff of the gentry visiting Eastbourne to ‘take to the waters’ on entry you climb the checkerboard steps towards the front door and be immersed in the sun-drenched conservatory. With incredible views of the seafront promenade, this is the perfect spot to enjoy a fresh coffee and soak up some morning sunshine.
Continue through the door featuring bespoke stain glass and enter into the hallway that is embellished with a chandelier and turn left into the magnificent reception room. Since being knocked through, and with solid wooden floors and shutters for the large bay window, this room has been transformed into a tranquil and elegant space. Period features including the picture rail, ceiling roses and an original fireplace add a touch of stylish charm and character.
Dining in style
Take the steps down to the spacious dining room, complete with double doors out to the garden area that allows diners to enjoy their breakfasts both indoors or outdoors.
Next to the dining room is a convenient WC and a spacious storage and utility room.
Moving through the hallway, arrive at the airy kitchen, both practical and sleek with its black marble effect counter tops. A Samsung fridge, Beko freezer and Kenwood dishwasher make practising your culinary skills a breeze, whilst a Siemens washing machine and Beko tumble dryer are at your convenience. There is also plenty of space for large American style fridge freezers should you wish to add them – (appliances are not included in the sale).
From here there is access through the rear doorway giving convenient access to the 5 private car parking spaces.
Silent night
Ascend the first flight of stairs and be welcomed into the first of three double bedrooms on this floor. With lilac walls and a large en suite shower room, this bedroom has everything you need for relaxing after a day of exploring this vibrant seaside town. On the left of this bedroom is a storage room, ideal for storing linens.
Moving down the hallway, you will arrive at another double bedroom that is currently serving as an office. A beautiful original fireplace adorns this room, making it cosy yet chic. This bedroom also has an ensuite shower room.
The final bedroom on this floor is perhaps the most impressive. Sweeping in scale, the real show stopping element is the gorgeous sea views that are visible from the lovely bay window. Newly fitted wooden floors run underfoot and fitted wardrobes were installed in 2017 creating ample storage space.
The second flight of stairs leads you to three more impressive bedrooms. Another lilac bedroom awaits you, with a large, tiled en suite bathroom with separate shower, flooded with light from the large window.
The next bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, creating a perfect nook to delve into a good book whilst sunlight streams in from the double aspect windows. This room also has a convenient en suite shower room.
Finally, the largest room on this floor has been painted blue, matching the ocean waves that can be seen from the large window with the original Victorian fireplace adds character and charm. It is also equipped with a stylish en suite shower room. Bright and airy, this room is perfect for a relaxing seaside staycation.
At the very bottom of this property there are two large bedrooms which can be used as staff quarters, or for the property owners to inhabit during the busy summer period. The first bedroom is spacious with bespoke carpentry fitted around the unusual castle like windows.
Heading into the final bedroom you will find multiple fitted wardrobes, and an ensuite bathroom, with a cream bathtub offering a shower over and matching sink to add that chic touch.
Garden escapes
With concrete paving underfoot, the garden area is a lovely place to unwind and enjoy some tranquillity, away from the hustle and bustle of the promenade. A fig tree watches over the garden and raspberry and rose bushes make it a delightful spot for guests to enjoy breakfast or an afternoon coffee. With sunshine present all day in the courtyard during the summer months, it does not get any more wonderful than this.
The property has a generous 5 parking spaces, ideal for guests and visitors alike.
By the seaside
With the beach on your doorstep, there is so much to see and do at your convenience. With lovely restaurants such as Bistrot Pierre, The Beach Deck and The Glass house just minutes away, there’s no shortage of places to enjoy a delicious meal whilst soaking up the sea views.
In terms of leisure, the Fisherman’s Green Tennis Courts, Yoga at the Redoubt and The Royal Eastbourne Golf Club are at your disposal, whilst Beachy Head and the sweeping South Downs are also easily accessible.
With a thriving food and drink scene, Eastbourne has a number of cafés and pubs such as To The Rise Bakery and The Marine Pub, for you to explore.
This property is also conveniently located with good transport links, getting you to London in just 90 minutes, and Gatwick airport in 45 minutes by train.
There’s always something happening in this vibrant seaside town, with Airbourne, Eastbourne Tennis tournament, vintage car shows and the carnival parade all taking place during the summer.
The town also has an active community for seaside business owners, with the Friends of Eastbourne Seafront, the B&B community and Eastbourne Hospitality Association all providing support and regular social events to help you get established.
