Exmouth Place, Hastings

Anchored into the foot of the West Hill, this two bedroom apartment with balconied reception sits within an imposing late Victorian townhouse. Offering original period detail and elevated southeasterly views towards the East Hill and over the English Channel.

Inside
Entry to Hillside is through a glazed timber door, into a communal hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. A handsome door, painted in a lime green leads to the galley kitchen, fitted with contrasting modern units topped in a solid oak worktop and chessboard tiles underfoot.

The main reception room is positioned to the front of the plan, where near floor to ceiling timber frame windows offer a wall of layered views over the old town. Housed in original panelling, a clever casement door gives access to the private balcony, decorated in ornate wrought iron. Bespoke cabinetry envelopes the Carrara marble fireplace, fitted with a forest green enamel wood burner which adds texture to the otherwise neutral pallet.

Adjacent, a large double bedroom with vertical transom windows allows the view and light to move through the space. Whitewashed floorboards, further feature fireplace and intricate cornice decorate the room, while a large timber sash window gives views over the walled courtyard garden.

The bathroom sits behind a glazed pocket door, letting dappled light reach through to the hallway from the west facing window. Fitted with a freestanding bath and wet room rain shower, finished in rich terracotta quarry floor tiles.

To the rear, a further double bedroom with original floorboards, fireplace and period detail is fitted with a bank of deep wardrobes. Expansive glazing with low sills offers afternoon light from the bay window, the half-glazed timber door gives access to the large private courtyard.
