The Location: Grosvenor Crescent, St Leonards on Sea
This attractive period property is situated in a convenient location in west St Leonards close to the town centre, and just a few minutes from the Old Town, shopping centre, beach and station of the busy growing resort town of Hastings in East Sussex. There is car parking nearby and additional free on street spaces are available.
The popular English fishing town of Hastings is in the heart of 1066 country, and with over a thousand years of history, has become a major tourist resort and is proud of its historical heritage and diversity of attractions, which features a 3 mile stretch of promenade.

The Property: Period, Semi-detached 8 Bedroomed Seafront Property
Currently this property is being used as two separate spaces by the current owner. Having lived in this luxurious period property along the St Leonards seafront for a number of years, it is now time for the vendor to downsize and pass on the exceptional asset onto someone new. It is extremely rare to find a property of this size, 3858sqft, in Hastings let alone along the seafront with direct sea views.
Over the past few years the ground floor has been a self-contained home for the vendor whilst running a successful holiday let on the first and second floor. Upon viewing the property it will be noticeable that the first and second floors have been upgraded to a high standard whilst the ground floor still has some cosmetic improvement required. The views from the top floors are outstanding, especially off the balcony. All of the bedrooms are of a very good size and proportion and the standard of bathrooms are impressive. The property also benefits from a landscaped rear garden and a south facing patio front garden.
