The Seaside Flat

Immaculate two-bedroom second floor flat (with lift) for up to 4 persons on central promenade a stone's throw from beach and sailing club

The Seaside Flat is situated on Bexhill’s central promenade just short of the town centre and close to the Sailing club. The pristine level-walk promenade links Galley Hill, at the eastern end of De La Warr Parade, with Cooden on Bexhill’s western borders. Only a couple of minutes walk, too, from the shops and the focal point of the town, the famous De La Warr Pavilion, the flat is ideally placed for easy access to Bexhill’s main amenities.

Located on the second floor of a well-converted house, the Seaside Flat is approached by a few steps up from the pavement to the entrance lobby (with entryphone for security) and an inner hallway with stairs or lift up to the second floor. Inside the flat, the accommodation is spacious and comprises sitting/dining room, two bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom. The entire flat has been recently refurbished and is in immaculate condition.

The sitting room and front bedroom windows overlook the promenade, and provide sweeping views of the sea across the beach, with the sailing club to the right. The sitting/dining room has a large bay window and is attractively furnished and decorated to a high standard. It has a dining table and chairs, a large side table and set of occasional tables with glass tops all in a medium wood colour. Complementing this furniture is a three seater settee and two armchairs in white/cream. A 32" flat screen television (with choice of Freeview or Freesat channels) and DVD player, plus a pair of table lamps and the usual trimmings, complete this inviting room.

The front bedroom contains twin single beds, with a wardrobe and a bedside cabinet in a pine finish. The second, larger, bedroom contains a double bed and has two separate double wardrobes with shelving and hanging space, a dressing table with mirror and bedside cabinets all in an attractive walnut finish. All bedding (duvets) and a set of bed linen is included for a holiday rental and the beds will be made up prior to arrival. Personal towels and additional/change of bed linen can be hired separately (see ‘Extras’ tariff).

A breakfast bar-type servery connects the sitting/dining room with the kitchen, which has been recently refurbished with a good range of light oak coloured cupboards and storage units. Cooking facilities are provided by an integrated single oven electric cooker with grill and a ceramic hob with extractor hood above. There is a microwave, also an under-counter 2 door fridge/freezer, kettle, toaster and more than sufficient crockery and utensils, etc for four persons.

The bathroom has been recently refurbished and includes a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with an integrated washing machine, a WC and fan heater. Two large cupboards off the 'L' shaped hallway, one containing a tumble dryer, complete the apartment.

Heating is provided by modern night storage heaters (a supplementary electric convector heater and fan heater are also provided), all windows are double glazed, and there is fitted carpet throughout. The building has a fire alarm system with regulatory connections to each flat. Car parking on the promenade road outside the flat is free and unrestricted, while the rail station and National Express coach stop from London is only a few minutes away for those who prefer not to drive.
