St Marys Terrace, Hastings

Set in an elevated position on the edge of the West Hill, this late Victorian semi-detached house unfolds across three storeys. Retained details are paired with warm tones, while westerly views are framed by ornate terraces suspended amongst the surrounding trees.

Inside
Entry from the street is through a powder blue timber door, where original boards run underfoot. A guest bedroom sits quietly to the front, finished with a large sash window and pretty shutters. To the rear, a generous sitting room with working fireplace gives views over the trees below and rooftops beyond. A cloakroom WC with antique tiling sits neatly to the side of the entrance.

Exposed stairs descend to the lower floor where the kitchen lines the full width of the plan, fitted in stone grey cabinetry and topped in a thick oak, with walk-in pantry sitting to the rear. The adjoining dining area is wrapped in glazing, with French doors giving way to a wrought iron terrace which surrounds the space. A glazed timber door at the foot of the stairs gives access to the garden.

On the upper floor, two further double bedrooms are arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom lies to the rear, with period fireplace, built in cabinetry and wide glazed doors opening onto a private lattice detailed balcony. A family bathroom is dressed with period-appropriate fittings, finished in a soft palette.

Outside
The secluded garden steps down in layers of paved terraces with further westerly views, creating distinct areas for seating and planting. A linked studio offers a peaceful retreat, well suited to use as a home office or additional living space.
