4 bed detached house for sale

Hardwick Road, Lower Meads, Eastbourne, East Sussex BN21

One of the finest 4/5 bedroom detached houses we have seen just west of the town centre in recent years.

Believed to have been constructed in the 1950's to an individual design and fine specification this impressive house provides deceptively spacious accommodation and is set within a delightfully landscaped walled garden. With the very generous principal accommodation arranged on the hall and first floors there is also very generous accommodation on the lower garden floor which offers great potential for a variety of use subject to any consents required. The well known local architects Benz and Williams created a very elegant home and the property now represents a rare and very attractive opportunity in this most sought after location. Available with no onward chain.

Hardwick Road is enviably located between the town centre and the Devonshire Park Tennis Courts with the nearby theatres, seafront and principal shopping centre all within relatively easy reach. Sporting facilities in Eastbourne area include 3 principal golf courses and one of the largest sailing marinas on the south coast. The nearby downland of the South Downs National Park offers wonderful recreational opportunity. There is world class opera at Glyndebourne and channel ferries are from Newhaven.
