Property description & features

  • Tenure: Leasehold

This charming ground floor purpose built flat, in a much favoured and sought-after block, set well back from the road behind communal lawns. Part of a block of just eight flats built by local builders, R A Larkin, in the 1960's, the property offers bright and well proportioned accommodation which includes two double bedrooms, a good size lounge with a southerly aspect and access onto an enclosed patio overlooking the gardens, kitchen with integrated appliances and a wet room. Outside, there is a single garage in an adjacent block. Gas central heating is installed and there are uPVC double glazed windows and exterior doors.

The property is well situated, on a bus route with stops immediately outside the block, about half a mile from Little Common shops and services and just over a mile from the town centre. The seafront at West Parade is also about half a mile, with Collington Wood also nearby.

Places of interest

    Abbott & Abbott is the longest established, independent firm of Estate Agents in the Bexhill-on-Sea area. It was founded by the Abbott brothers in 1937, and enjoys an unrivalled reputation for personal service and integrity.  Abbott & Abbott is a privately owned, independent estate agency with a long history of professional, straightforward and honest service. Founded by the Abbott brothers during the uncertainty of the immediate pre-war years and thriving ever since, Abbott & Abbott has not rested on its laurels. Having established an unrivalled reputation over nearly eight decades, we are only too eager to continue to provide our clients and buyers with the highest level of professional, personal service.  We specialise in the sale of bungalows, houses and apartments in Bexhill, Little Common and Cooden and have two dedicated offices in both Bexhill and Little Common from which we cover the whole of the TN39 and TN40 areas, as well as the surrounding villages of Hooe, Ninfield and Catsfield. All of our properties for sale are marketed equally from both offices.  Our years of experience in the Bexhill property market gives us a unique knowledge of the area and its people, and our well trained professional and experienced staff are driven by the overriding wish to make moving home as happy and stress-free as possible.  Over the years we have developed a niche outlet promoting quality homes, and we have been involved in more new build developments in the Bexhill area than any other agent, as well as selling more seafront homes, land and investments, than any other firm. We build long lasting relationships with all our clients and purchasers alike, starting from first time buyers to those moving for the final time, and the vast majority of our business arises from personal and/or professional recommendation.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 17, 2021

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on June 15, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
