INSIDE THE PROPERTY

Stepping inside, you are welcomed by a inner hallway, with a separate cloakroom WC conveniently positioned to the left. A short flight of steps leads to the main landing, from which all rooms are accessed.

The lounge is wonderfully spacious, enhanced by characterful sloped ceilings and a large picture window framing stunning rear views. An ornamental fireplace creates a charming focal point, flanked by bespoke modular shelving —perfect for display and storage.

Opposite, the thoughtfully designed kitchen offers both style and practicality. A central island provides a breakfast bar and additional drawer storage, while the main preparation area features a built in oven, hob with extractor, and integrated dishwasher and washing machine. From here, double glazed doors open onto a superb roof terrace. Recently tiled and enclosed by a walled and fenced perimeter, this private outdoor haven offers ample space for dining or lounging, with panoramic views across Meads towards the coast.

The principal bedroom is an excellent size, featuring an entire wall of fitted wardrobes and a large sash window overlooking the front. Light, airy, and spacious, it provides a calm and comfortable retreat. Bedroom 2 is similarly generous, with another large sash window flooding the room with natural light and plenty of space for wardrobes and additional furniture.

The bathroom is beautifully presented, fitted with a modern white suite including a separate bath, corner shower enclosure, wash basin with storage drawers, and WC. Fully tiled and immaculately finished, it offers a contemporary and relaxing space.

OUTSIDE

he terrace is a generous size, offering ample space for a table and chairs as well as sun loungers. It has been recently re tiled, and a low perimeter fence has been added to provide both privacy and an extra sense of security — ideal for pets and children, and particularly useful as the current owner has a dog. A feature pergola adds character to the space, and a gate leads down the fire escape to the communal gardens below. The gardens themselves are beautifully maintained and available for all residents to enjoy. They include a seating area along with shared outdoor storage for bikes, garden equipment and similar items, making the space both practical and inviting.

LOCATION

Meads sits on the westerly edge of Eastbourne, where the town meets the rolling landscape of the South Downs. Long regarded as one of Eastbourne’s most prestigious areas, Meads flourished in the late 19th century—around the time this property was built. Grand Victorian homes lined newly planted, tree lined avenues, replacing former grazing land and corn fields. It quickly became the most fashionable part of town, attracting affluent residents including professionals, entrepreneurs, retired military officers and former members of the Colonial Civil Service.

Today, Meads remains one of Eastbourne’s most desirable neighbourhoods, offering an exceptional blend of natural beauty, culture and convenience. Meads Tennis Club and the University of Brighton’s Eastbourne Sports Centre are both less than a mile away, and several highly regarded private schools—including Eastbourne College, Bedes and St Andrew’s—are close by. You are also just a short distance from the Devonshire International Tennis Centre, Towner Art Gallery, The Winter Garden, Congress Theatre and many other attractions.

Eastbourne’s main town centre lies just under a mile away by car, offering an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and banks, along with The Beacon shopping centre. Eastbourne train station, located in the same area, provides a comprehensive rail network with routes to numerous destinations, including London Victoria in approximately 1 hour 25 minutes.

Other notable locations within easy reach include Brighton (24 miles), Royal Tunbridge Wells (30 miles), Hastings (21 miles) and Gatwick Airport (45 miles).
