Milward Crescent, Hastings

Positioned on the edge of the West Hill in the quiet turning of Milward Crescent is this four-bedroom Victorian family home. A clean, white-painted façade gives way to proportion and space, complemented by playful interiors and far reaching views.

Inside
Entry is via a glazed timber door set within a shallow recess, framed by surrounding panels of glass. A curtained vestibule gives way to a central hallway, where darkened Victorian floorboards run underfoot. A smaller double bedroom, currently arranged as a study, is positioned to the left of the plan, where tall sash windows draw south-westerly light. Adjacent, a larger bedroom is set within a canted bay, complete with bespoke alcove joinery. To the rear, a further double bedroom is arranged with triple aspect windows overlooking the garden. A bank of hand-crafted wardrobes, finished in warm ochre tones, lines one wall. The family bathroom sits alongside, finished in a contrasting palette of olive-green panelling and yellow tiling. A spacious utility room with plentiful storage and wash basin provides access to the lower garden.
Stairs rise to the first floor, where the main living space sits centrally within the plan. Pale timber boards run underfoot, with an open staircase forming a focal point. Dual-aspect windows set within a shallow bay draw in easterly light and offer elevated views into the garden. A short run of steps leads to the kitchen and dining space beyond. Arranged around a central island, soft black cabinetry is paired with a light timber worktop, with reeded glass and open shelving adding texture. Space for dining sits at the far end, with access to the terrace and garden beyond.
The principal bedroom is positioned to the front, where a familiar bay window frames elevated south-westerly views across the rooftops and towards the sea. The adjoining en-suite bathroom is fitted with a freestanding roll-top bath and period-appropriate fittings.

Outside
The garden unfolds across a series of tiered spaces, where established planting creates a sense of depth and enclosure. Mature shrubs, climbing greenery and small trees wrap the boundaries, softening the edges while creating a series of intimate corners. A terrace extends directly from the house, allowing the kitchen and living spaces to run seamlessly outside. A timber-clad shed is tucked quietly among the planting, a more secluded seating area sits further up the garden offering a quiet retreat, welcoming the evening sun.
