Colwood Crescent, Eastbourne, BN20

AP Estate Agents are proud to present this fabulous semi detached family home, perfectly positioned on the Willingdon and Old Town borders. The property is well proportioned throughout, with a strong emphasis on generous living accommodation, having been thoughtfully extended to both the kitchen and the living room to create a superb sense of space. In addition to the main living areas, there is a separate dining room or second reception room, offering valuable versatility to suit a range of lifestyles — whether for formal dining, a playroom, a snug or a home office. Upstairs, you will find three comfortable bedrooms along with a converted loft room accessed via a pull down ladder. With the relevant permissions and a fixed staircase, this could easily become a permanent fourth bedroom, adding even more potential to the home. The location is ideal for families, with an excellent choice of schools nearby, and the garden lends itself beautifully to children’s outdoor play thanks to its generous size. The added bonus of a large garden cabin provides a fantastic, safe space for a playroom, hobbies or additional work from home flexibility. Altogether, this is a wonderfully adaptable home in a sought after area, offering space, potential and a lifestyle that will appeal to a wide range of buyers.

INSIDE THE PROPERTY

You enter the property through a practical porch, ideal for storing coats and shoes, before stepping into the main hallway. This central space provides access to all rooms and includes excellent understairs storage. The dining room is the first reception you come to, featuring an ornamental fireplace with both alcoves fitted with attractive shelving that adds character and provides superb storage. The bay window enhances the room beautifully, creating a bright, airy feel. Off the hallway is a downstairs WC with a wash basin — a valuable addition for busy households or visiting guests. The living room has been extended to create a generous, comfortable space, with double doors opening onto the garden and an open archway leading through to the kitchen. The chimney breast has been corbelled to maximise floor space, giving the room a clean, open layout. The kitchen is fitted with a sleek range of gloss white units, striking against the grey wood effect laminate flooring. There is an abundance of worktop space, along with a mix of drawers, wall cupboards and floor units for excellent storage. A range cooker with extractor above takes centre stage, offering a gas five ring hob and electric oven and grill. Space and plumbing are provided for both a washing machine and dishwasher. The Worcester boiler is neatly housed within one of the wall units, and as the property has previously been rented, you can be confident it has been regularly maintained in line with landlord requirements. A back door leads out to a fenced courtyard — an ideal enclosed area for pets or a practical space for outdoor storage.

UPSTAIRS

Stairs rise from the hallway to a bright landing, where you’ll find access to the loft and all upstairs rooms. Bedroom One sits at the front of the property and enjoys a charming bay window along with an extensive range of built in storage, including cupboards, drawers, hanging space and shelving — a superb arrangement that maximises practicality. Bedroom Two faces the side of the home and also benefits from excellent built in storage, with double wardrobes neatly positioned within the alcoves of the chimney breast. Bedroom Three is the smallest of the bedrooms, yet still a very comfortable size compared with what you might find in more modern properties. A particular advantage of this home is the converted loft room. Finished with plastered and decorated walls, a Velux window and carpeting, it offers a highly usable additional space accessed via a pull down ladder. With the relevant permissions and the installation of a fixed staircase, this could be transformed into a permanent fourth bedroom. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite comprising a low level WC, pedestal wash basin and panelled bath with shower above, and is fully tiled for ease of maintenance. A large window on the stairwell floods the landing with natural light, enhancing the sense of space and brightness throughout the upper floor.

OUTSIDE 

The property is approached from the road via a tarmac driveway offering convenient off street parking; the previous occupant comfortably accommodated a van, so larger vehicles can be catered for. The entrance is shared with the neighbouring property, and, as next door has done, it would be entirely possible to remove the front wall to further expand the parking area if desired. A side gate leads into a practical courtyard off the kitchen — an ideal spot for storing bins or creating a secure area for pets. From here, a few steps take you down to the main garden. The fencing along this section will require some repair, but once addressed, it will make a very useful transition space. The main garden is an excellent size. A crazy paving patio adjoins the rear of the house, with further steps rising to the double doors of the living room. Tall, mature shrubs provide privacy from neighbouring gardens, while the majority of the space is laid to lawn with a decked area running along one side. It is very much a blank canvas for keen gardeners to shape and design to their own taste. The highlight of the garden is the impressive timber cabin, complete with a pitched roof and double doors. Inside, it is insulated, carpeted and decorated, with windows, power and lighting — a superb multi purpose space suitable for hobbies, a home office, a games room or a dedicated children’s playroom. Behind the cabin, an area of hardstanding offers additional out of sight storage.

LOCATION 

Colwood Crescent enjoys a well established position on the Willingdon/Old Town side of Eastbourne, offering a popular residential setting with excellent access to both countryside and town amenities. One of its greatest advantages is its proximity to the South Downs National Park, with miles of open landscape, rolling hills and scenic trails just moments away. Whether you enjoy walking, cycling or simply taking in the views, this area provides some of the finest outdoor space in Sussex, including access to Butts Brow, Jevington and the wider downland network.

Despite its out of town feel, the location is wonderfully convenient. Eastbourne’s town centre is within easy reach, offering a wide selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, including theatres, sports centres and the seafront. Local health services are well catered for, with GP surgeries, dental practices and pharmacies nearby, and larger medical facilities available in central Eastbourne.

Families benefit from an excellent choice of schools, with Willingdon Community School, Ratton School, Gildredge House and a range of primary schools all easily accessible. Further options can be found in Hailsham, Polegate and Eastbourne, making this a strong location for those seeking reliable educational provision.

Transport links are a major attraction. Polegate mainline station is just a short drive away, providing regular services to London Victoria, London Bridge, Brighton and Ashford International — ideal for commuters or those who travel frequently. Road connections are equally strong, with easy access to the A22 and A27 for travel across the county. The surrounding towns are all within comfortable reach: Hailsham is around ten minutes away, Eastbourne’s centre approximately fifteen, Brighton around forty minutes and Hastings roughly half an hour. For international travel, Gatwick Airport can typically be reached in forty five to fifty minutes, adding further convenience for business or leisure.

Altogether, Colwood Crescent offers a superb blend of countryside access, town convenience and excellent connectivity. Its closeness to the South Downs, strong local amenities, reputable schools and easy transport links make it an ideal location for buyers seeking a well connected and lifestyle rich Eastbourne home.
