Occupying a prominent position at the foot of
West Hill, this exceptional double-fronted Georgian townhouse represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Hastings Old Town’s most elegant and historically significant homes. Beautifully preserved and sympathetically enhanced, the property seamlessly marries classic Georgian architecture with refined contemporary living.
Approached via a private, walled courtyard, the
handsome façade sets an impressive first impression. A striking red front door, framed by an ornate fanlight, opens into a gracious entrance hall where original timber floorboards and an abundance of natural light immediately convey the home’s character and scale.
The beautifully proportioned reception spaces
exemplify the elegance of the Georgian era. The
principal sitting room features a striking marble
fireplace and bespoke cabinetry, while a further
reception room and adjoining study enjoy attractive
views across Swan Terrace. To the rear, a walkthrough
boot room leads to a cloakroom, before
opening into an inviting dining room centred
around a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and atmospheric setting for entertaining.
The bespoke kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to complement the property’s heritage, combining oak worktops, exposed brick detailing and high quality finishes. Large timber doors open directly onto the raised terrace and secluded courtyard beyond, creating a seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces.
The upper floors provide generous and versatile
accommodation. Three beautifully presented
double bedrooms retain original fireplaces, fitted
cabinetry and traditional Georgian shutters, while
a fourth bedroom enjoys captivating rooftop
views extending towards the sea. The principal
suite is served by an impressive en-suite bathroom featuring a spa bath and heritage-inspired fittings.
A luxurious family bathroom incorporates a clawfoot roll-top bath and walk-in rainfall shower.
Underfloor heating to the kitchen and both
bathrooms ensures modern comfort throughout.
The lower ground floor offers a substantial and
adaptable living space, currently configured as a
media and games room. Illuminated by light wells
and timber casement windows, this floor also
benefits from an extensive utility room overlooking the courtyard.
Outside, the property’s private walled courtyards
provide a rare senszse of tranquillity and seclusion
in the heart of the Old Town. The rear courtyard,
accessed directly from the kitchen, offers an ideal
setting for al fresco dining and entertaining.
Perfectly positioned moments from the beach,
West Hill and the vibrant array of independent
galleries, boutiques and renowned restaurants
for which Hastings Old Town is celebrated, the
property also benefits from convenient access
to Hastings and Ore stations, offering direct rail
services to London.
Rarely does a house of such architectural
significance, provenance and quality come to the
market. This is an outstanding Georgian home,
combining period grandeur with contemporary
sophistication in one of East Sussex’s most coveted coastal settings.
