A South-Facing Garden Flat with Sea Views and Local Legacy
West Hill Road, St Leonards-On-Sea
EPC: F | Council Tax Band: A | No Onward Chain

Originally known as Walton House in the 1870s, No. 25 West Hill Road forms part of a handsome terrace of Victorian villas built on land once belonging to the gardens of the Royal Victoria Hotel. This south-facing flat, with its own private entrance and garden, sits almost equidistant between West St Leonards Station and St Leonards Warrior Square Station, offering excellent links to London while enjoying the calm of a tucked-away seaside street.

Local records suggest the terrace was likely the work of William John Rodda, a prolific builder of the era, who was active across St Leonards in the 1860s, including The Mount and parts of West Hill. He leased land from Decimus Burton and advertised homes such as Milton Villa (No. 31) for sale as early as 1862. No. 25 carries that same elegance and proportion, now carefully restored for modern living.

The flat offers 880 sq ft of beautifully refurbished living space with handmade, hand-painted joinery throughout. The bright reception room opens directly onto a private south-facing garden, offering panoramic sea views—a rare combination of sunshine and horizon.

The accommodation includes two well-proportioned bedrooms, a stylish modern bathroom, and a sleek, well-equipped kitchen that flows effortlessly into the living space. Everything has been thoughtfully finished, and the property is ready to move into, with no onward chain.

With history in its walls, the sea at its doorstep, and two stations within walking distance, this is a home that offers both story and setting—a tranquil base for coastal living, with everything in place for the next chapter.
