Pevensey Road, St. Leonards-on-Sea

Occupying the entire lower ground floor of an imposing Victorian building, this considerable three-bedroom apartment is arranged across a generous lateral plan. A clean white palette runs throughout, enhancing the light and allowing the building’s period features to sit quietly alongside more contemporary interventions.

Inside
Entry is via a private entrance, tucked neatly to the side of the building’s handsome façade. Whitewashed steps lead down to a glazed timber door with fanlight above. Original floorboards run underfoot, continuing throughout in differing hues.
A grand double retains its original proportions, sitting proudly to the front. A large, canted bay window frames views of the front garden, with spacious walk-in wardrobe, high ceilings and soft white walls further dressing the space.
Adjacent, a smaller double bedroom features an arched wall niche, original sash windows and whitewashed timber floors.
A broad linear hallway runs the length of the apartment, opening to a separate WC and a third smaller bedroom, currently used as an office. The family bathroom lies beyond, fitted with a deep-set roll-top bath and neutral tiling. A generous utility room is arranged in two layers, offering ample storage and workspace.
A light-filled reception commands the rear of the plan, with a defining exposed brick chimney breast and contemporary log burner. Decorative strapwork and fluted plaster pillars lend character to the walls and ceiling. Glazed French doors open to the courtyard, framed by a pop of painted yellow.
The kitchen enjoys the same southerly aspect, lined with matt black cabinetry set against soft cream walls, a clean, modern contrast to the apartment’s period detailing.

Outside
A south-facing terrace adjoins the main reception, enclosed by reclaimed sleepers, laid in brick and surrounded by established shrubbery and seasonal perennials. Mature sycamores offer privacy and dappled shade throughout the day.

Area
Pevensey Road sits within easy reach of the beach, the promenade, and St Leonards Gardens. West St Leonards and St Leonards Warrior Square stations are both within proximity, offering direct rail connections to London. The centre of St Leonards lies at the foot of the hill, home to independent restaurants, shops and galleries.
