Back to Listing ResultsCottage Charm, Sea Views & Fantastic Location
This gorgeous 1920s cottage has so much charm. Set on one of the best streets in Eastbourne, with sea views, bush surrounds, and all-day sun, it's a special little spot.
It's a two-bedroom home with a private, sheltered backyard that offers the potential to extend. Plans are available if you'd like to see what that could look like. There are parts that need some love, but it's got its own little creek and loads of personality.
Downstairs, there are two living spaces: a split level kitchen-diner that's absolutely bathed in sunshine, and a generous living room with garden views and French doors that open out to the sheltered courtyard and lawn. Upstairs, the bedrooms feel like they sit up in the trees, with the master offering a picture window that looks out over the harbour—a magic spot for your morning cuppa or to watch the stunning sunsets.
It's the kind of place you fall for without even trying. This spot will be missed by the current owners.
