Gensing Road, St. Leonards-On-Sea

With its olive-green façade this three-bedroom end of terraced house presents a quiet, understated appearance to Gensing Road. Arranged across three floors, the interior is characterised by a restrained palette of soft blues, greys and greens, while original timber floorboards, painted panelling and stripped doors lend a gentle, country-inspired quality to the rooms. To the rear, a small east-facing courtyard provides a sheltered outdoor space.

Inside
A black front door opens into the hallway, where warm cream walls and soft grey carpet create a gentle introduction to the house. A traditional plaster archway with decorative corbels frames the staircase beyond. To the left, an open-plan kitchen and reception room extends from front to back, with original timber floorboards running underfoot. The reception room occupies the front of the ground floor, where a large window draws in westerly light onto pale blue walls. A tiled fireplace with a timber mantel forms the focal point, while original built-in cupboards with exposed timber doors fill the lower half of the alcoves on either side. The kitchen sits to the rear, where Shaker-style cabinetry combines soft grey fronts with natural oak sides and block timber worktops. A ceramic butler sink sits beneath an east-facing window with a leafy outlook, while a timber peninsula provides additional counter space and informal seating. The simplicity of the joinery gives the space a relaxed, informal feel. A separate WC sits at the end of the ground floor hallway, its walls lined with panelling painted in a deep green. The original staircase with its white painted spindles rises beyond the decorative plaster archway. Two double bedrooms occupy the first floor. At the front is the principal bedroom, where warm cream walls and soft grey carpets continue, creating a gentle atmosphere. Twin casement windows look out over the pastel-painted houses of Gensing Road. At the rear, the second bedroom faces east, with a similarly quiet palette and elevated views across the neighbouring gardens to the church steeples beyond.
On the lower ground floor, a generous third bedroom is currently arranged as an office, with pale walls, timber-effect flooring and a glazed door opening directly onto a secluded courtyard. A recessed area provides a dedicated workspace away from the main rooms. A timber door with reeded glass opens onto a spacious family bathroom, where a large walk-in shower, traditional basin and extensive built-in storage are set against grey-painted panelling.

Outside
The intimate courtyard is reached directly from the lower ground floor. Lit by the morning sun and enclosed by painted brick walls, it forms a sheltered outdoor space with room for potted planting.

Area
Ideally situated in the centre of St Leonards offering a variety of independent shops, restaurants and galleries, the seafront and promenade are moments away. The colourful Hastings Old Town is also within walking distance. St Leonards mainline station is a short stroll, providing a direct link into Central London.
