Key Features

Full Description

An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial attached Victorian residence, believed to date back to circa 1870 and understood to be one of the earliest homes constructed along Hoads Wood Road. Set back from the road within the highly regarded St Helens area of Hastings, this impressive seven-bedroom character property comes to the market for the first time in over 30 years and offers remarkably generous and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors. The property is in need of restoration, making this an excellent opportunity for any buyers looking for a refurbishment project.

Internally, the accommodation is both flexible and expansive. The main living areas include a large lounge-dining room, a kitchen-breakfast room, and a glazed corridor which leads through to an attractive inner courtyard. Additional practical spaces include a utility room and access to the adjoining double garage with workshop, providing excellent storage and workspace options.

The ground floor also accommodates three bedrooms, along with a bathroom and separate WC, making it well suited to multi-generational living or adaptable use. There is also access to a cellar positioned beneath the staircase. The first floor offers four further bedrooms, including one with an en suite facility, together with a family bathroom. Rising above the main accommodation is the distinctive Italianate-style turret room, a striking architectural feature that enjoys far-reaching panoramic views across Hastings and out to the English Channel.

Approached via a double entrance carriage driveway, the property enjoys a wonderfully private setting, screened by mature trees and shrubs, and further benefits from a detached double garage and a southerly facing garden with areas of established woodland. While now in need of comprehensive renovation, the house presents a rare and exciting opportunity for a purchaser to restore, enhance and create a truly outstanding family home of significant character and scale.

Conveniently located within walking distance of a local convenience store and positioned on a bus route offering direct access to Hastings town centre, the property is ideally placed for the area’s comprehensive shopping, leisure and recreational facilities, mainline railway station, seafront and promenade.

A truly unique and seldom available Victorian home, offering scale, character and enormous potential in one of Hastings’ most sought-after residential locations.
