Phil Hall Estate Agents welcomes to the market this well-presented family home situated in the heart of the highly sought-after Old Town area of Eastbourne. This three-bedroom detached home on Downs Avenue offers a rare blend of character, convenience, and untapped potential. Set on a generous plot, this property is ideal for families seeking to settle in one of Eastbourne’s most desirable residential locations, known for its community atmosphere, excellent schooling options, and close proximity to everyday amenities.

Upon entering the property, you’re welcomed into a bright and inviting entrance hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the home. Immediately to your right is a generous living room, bathed in natural light thanks to a large double-glazed bay window overlooking the front garden. This space is perfect for relaxing or entertaining and offers scope to add contemporary finishes while preserving its homely feel.

Toward the rear of the ground floor is a separate kitchen fitted with a range of traditional wall and base units, providing ample storage and workspace. There's space for a freestanding washing machine, fridge freezer, and a range-style oven complete with extractor hood—ideal for keen cooks or busy family life.

Connected to the kitchen is the dining room, which overlooks the rear garden and provides direct access to the outdoor space. This layout works well in its current form but also presents excellent development potential. Subject to planning permission, these two rooms could be knocked through to form a large, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, and even extended further to the rear—creating a modern living space ideal for today’s lifestyle.

Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms—each with ample space for beds and storage. These rooms are ideal for children, guests, or working from home, depending on your needs. The family bathroom is located on this level and fitted in a three piece white suite.
