2 bed Flat For Sale £425,000
High Street, Hastings

Roebuck House occupies a central site in the heart of historic Hastings Old Town. Living here puts you in the middle of all that's happening in this wonderful seaside town: a choice of independent shops and characterful pubs are on your street, the seafront is quite literally a 3 minute walk from the property, excellent fresh fish shops and restaurants are moments away and the Hastings Contemporary Gallery is a five minute walk. Yet once inside this carefully refurbished flat, the peace and quiet is palpable.

The two bedroom first floor flat with marvellous, uninterrupted open plan living, dining and kitchen area has reassuringly contemporary energy efficiencies and outstanding sound and heat insulation. An impressive shared entrance hall with secure coded access, leads to the first floor where there are just two flats. There is a lift as well as a bright light-filled stairway. The private hallway of flat 4 has cupboard space for coats and an attractive floor-to-ceiling window with plantation shutters - a feature throughout the flat. This space offers views down the High Street with its many historic properties, and has room enough for a WFH desk.

Solid fire-rated wooden doors lead into the sunny living space with a high spec integrated kitchen and quartz worktop to one side, plenty of room for a large dining table and a large seating area by the windows. Engineered oak wooden flooring throughout the flat houses the underfloor heating system, all of which is zoned to allow control over energy use. The flooring is laid on a concrete sound insulating layer to avoid any of the "sound creep" that can make living in a flat tricky.

The two double bedrooms have very different outlooks: one towards the attractive townscape and conservation area of the Old Town, the other towards the famed green expanse of The East Hill and Hastings Country Park. There's a bright, white bathroom that offers the choice of both a large shower and separate bath, finished off with beautifully laid, subtle floor tiles and Burlington fittings.

Flat 4 has the attraction of it benefitting from having the largest windows of the 9 flats within the property that allows for an exceptionally good amount of natural light and sunlight due to its prominent south-facing aspect.

Roebuck House has been recently converted from a rambling general practice doctors surgery to create 9 outstanding and individual flats. All of the friendly residents form a communicative and active residents group and pay £1200 per annum in service charges. Currently there's a reassuring reserve in the service charge account. The service charge covers monthly window cleaning, cleaning and maintenance of common parts, day to day maintenance. Parking is via a purchased yearly Residents Permit that allows parking anywhere in the Old Town without restriction.
