Flat 5 11 George Street, Hailsham

Two bedrooms at the top of the building, in the middle of town. This flat suits a couple, or one person who wants a proper second bedroom for an office or guests, and it puts Hailsham within walking distance rather than a drive away.

You reach it by the building's original staircase, with its varnished timber handrails and turned banister rails. Past the first floor, up another flight and four more steps, and you reach your own front door, with a door-entry intercom inside. It is the top floor, and the stairs run all the way up, so it will not suit anyone who cannot manage them.

The living room is the heart of it: one big room, carpeted at the sitting end, with the kitchen in an L-shaped corner on wood-effect flooring. A pair of uPVC double-glazed sash windows look up North Street, over older buildings and a big tree, with the big Tesco in view at the top of the road. The kitchen has cream-white units, a light grey granite-effect worktop, a four-ring gas hob under a brushed steel hood, an electric oven, a deep pan drawer, space for an under-counter fridge, and space and plumbing for a washing machine.

Both bedrooms are at the back, each with a sash window, a radiator and carpet. Bedroom One has a corner cupboard housing the gas boiler. Bedroom Two is the smaller of the pair, with a recess that will take a chest of drawers. The shower room has a shower cubicle, WC and washbasin, and the flat runs on gas central heating, with a Honeywell thermostat in the hall.

Outside the front door is the town. Tesco is at the top of North Street and Asda is close by, with the shops, cafés, pubs and the restored Pavilion cinema all within walking distance. Buses from the High Street run to Eastbourne, Polegate, Lewes and Brighton. If you commute by train, Polegate station, around three and a half miles away, has direct services to London Victoria.

There is no outside space and no parking with the flat. You'll use the town's public car parks, and on-street parking when there's space. Ready to see it in person? Use the call or email buttons on this listing.
