Description
There are flats, and then there are exceptional flats like this.
Set on the first floor of one of Meads' most distinguished Victorian buildings, originally completed in 1897 and said to have been a holiday retreat for a relative of the Duke of Devonshire, this is a home with genuine provenance. Extensively renovated between 2011 and 2018, it carries the warmth and craftsmanship of the period alongside a level of finish that very few properties at any price point can match.
From the moment you step through the soundproofed oak front door, the quality of everything around you is immediate. The dining hall sets the tone with a Stucco Veneziano ceiling, a Murano glass chandelier, and hand-painted wall panelling in Earthborn claypaint. Every detail has been considered, right down to the Buster and Punch sockets and light switches.
The open plan kitchen and living area is where this flat truly earns its reputation. Three large sash windows draw light deep into the room, which looks out over the immaculately maintained communal garden. The bespoke hand-painted kitchen, installed in 2017, is in exceptional condition. A sweeping three-metre island, Miele and Gaggenau appliances, a Villeroy and Boch butler sink, and intricate hand-carved cabinetry combine to create a kitchen that is as much a pleasure to cook in as it is to show off.
Both bedrooms continue the sense of considered luxury, with solid oak flooring, Ottocento walls, Stucco Veneziano ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and bespoke fitted wardrobes throughout. The shower room is finished to an equally high standard, with a Matki walk-in shower, Porcelanosa tiles, and underfloor heating.
Outside, the communal garden is a genuine asset, and a private garage with Hormann electric door completes the picture.
Meads is Eastbourne at its finest. Meads village, with its independent restaurants, cafes and pubs, is a few minutes on foot. The South Downs are on the doorstep. The beach is five minutes away.
A home of this character, in this condition, in this location, does not come along often.
