Elstree Cottage, 67 Meads Road, Eastbourne  BN20 7QL

£580,000 FREEHOLD

A late Victorian Period Home of immense character retaining and enhancing many orginal features situated in the much sought after Meads Villiage area of Eastbourne. The house was originally part of the Duke of Devonshire’s Estate as a tied property before it was sold into the private market.  Over the last ten years the current vendors have carried out many improvements to the property whilst retaining the original features and it now benefits from gas central heating, hand built pine kitchen/breakfast room, two magnificent reception rooms, currently two garages, refitted bathroom/shower room and a south facing garden.  The house has the potential for a part-professional use by utilising the attached garage which is currently used as a workshop.  The house is located only a few hundred yards from the Meads village shopping amenities and is highly recommended for internal inspection.
