Set within the heart of Eastbourne on the well-regarded Willingdon Road, this striking five-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home offers a rare combination of period grandeur, exceptional internal space, and flexible multi-level living. Spanning three floors, this character-rich property features high ceilings, generously sized rooms far larger than standard doubles, and a wealth of original features, creating a home full of personality and potential.

Ground Floor
Reception Room / Bedroom
Immediately to the front of the house is a versatile reception room that can serve comfortably as an additional bedroom, home studio, or formal sitting room. Large sash windows flood the room with light, and the original fireplace and cornicing highlight the home’s Victorian heritage.

Bathroom
Serving the ground floor is a full bathroom, ideal for guests or independent living setups. Its generous size and proximity to the front bedroom make it perfect for older relatives or long-term visitors.

Bedroom
Another large double bedroom sits further along the hallway, beautifully proportioned with space for full furnishings and retaining many original features, such as decorative coving and tall skirting.

Living Room
A warm and welcoming living room sits centrally on the ground floor, offering an inviting family space. High ceilings, classic picture rails, and ample room for seating make it the heart of the home.

Sun Room
To the rear, the sun room offers a peaceful and light-filled retreat, with views over the garden. It serves well as a casual sitting area, reading nook, or morning room and connects fluidly with the outdoor space.

W/C
A separate ground floor cloakroom/WC adds day-to-day practicality, easily accessible for guests and residents alike.

First Floor
Principal Bedroom with Dressing Room & En-Suite
The standout master suite occupies a prominent position on the first floor, offering exceptional space, privacy, and light. The room includes a walk-in dressing area and a modern en-suite shower room, making it a luxurious and private retreat within the home.

Kitchen
The kitchen, located on the first floor for maximum light and space, is well appointed and designed with both form and function in mind. There’s ample storage, worktop space, and room for dining, while high ceilings enhance the open feel. It’s a superb space for everyday cooking and entertaining alike.

Shower Room
In addition to the en-suite, the first floor also offers a separate shower room, ideal for family use and guests.

Home Office
Also on this floor is a well-proportioned home office, allowing for peaceful remote working, creative pursuits, or potential conversion into an additional bedroom or nursery.

Second Floor
Two Double Bedrooms
The second floor features two more double bedrooms, each full of character and space, with sloping ceilings and views across Eastbourne. These rooms are ideal for children, teenagers, or additional guest rooms and retain the same generous proportions seen throughout the rest of the home.

Period Features & Style
This home exudes Victorian charm at every turn, with original cornices, ceiling roses, sash windows, decorative fireplaces, and tall ceilings creating a feeling of light, airiness, and understated elegance. The layout also provides significant flexibility, allowing parts of the house to function semi-independently if desired.

External Features

Exclusivity Fee:

You can secure the purchase today by paying an exclusivity fee of £2,000 which gives you the rights to purchase within a given timeframe. The exclusivity fee is returned to you upon successful completion of the property.
