South Street, Eastbourne

Tucked away just moments from the energy of Eastbourne's town centre, this exquisite 18th-century cottage blends the charm of its 1770 origins with carefully considered modern updates, offering a lifestyle that's both timeless and effortlessly comfortable. Behind its white-painted brick façade, slate roof, and classic double-glazed windows trimmed with flower boxes, lies a home that feels like a secret-peaceful, warm, and full of character. From the moment you pass through the gate and follow the block-paved path to the soft green front door, the tone is set for something truly special.

Inside, the home surprises and delights with a topsy-turvy layout that adds to its individuality. On the ground floor, three beautifully styled bedrooms are awash in natural light, one offering an original feature fireplace and a bonus snug or dressing area, while another features a stylish basin set on a curved painted chest. A crisp, modern shower room and clever built-in storage ensure practical needs are met without sacrificing aesthetics. The colour palette throughout is cheerful and light, enhancing the feel of open space and warmth, while original details like wood panelling and exposed beams serve as a gentle reminder of the home's heritage.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is calm and refined, enjoying views across the courtyard garden and morning light through twin east-facing windows. Polished floorboards and a large mirrored wardrobe create a harmonious balance between heritage and function. Just next door, the family bathroom continues the theme with whimsical detail and classic fittings. The heart of the home lies across the hall in the character-filled living and dining areas, where large windows pull in golden sunlight and exposed timber softens the generous space. A beamed ceiling, wooden flooring, and gently arched walls lead into a welcoming kitchen fitted with quality appliances and an easygoing breakfast bar, perfect for casual mornings or evening conversations over a glass of wine.

Outside, the story continues in the enclosed courtyard garden, a tranquil and romantic space framed by cobbled patios, climbing plants, and brick planters. It's private, sunlit, and full of visual interest-whether you're reading in a quiet corner or entertaining friends on a summer evening. The home also includes driveway parking, a garage with a mezzanine storage level, and thoughtful external features like the intercom system and Yale secure key box.

Located just a short walk from Eastbourne's bustling Little Chelsea district, the seafront, and the mainline station, the cottage offers both convenience and culture. From art galleries and theatres to award-winning cafés, artisan shops, and coastal walks, there's no shortage of ways to enjoy this vibrant community. Local schools are highly regarded, transport links are strong, and nearby green spaces like Gildredge Park and the South Downs National Park add even more to the lifestyle on offer. This is more than just a property, it's a rare opportunity to own a home with real soul, where every corner invites you to stay a little longer.
