DESCRIPTION
NEW PRICE!!! Located in the popular Solway area of Hailsham, this charming two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers comfortable single-storey living in a peaceful and well-established neighbourhood.

Situated close to local shops, bus routes, and Hailsham town centre amenities, 23 Solway benefits from a convenient yet quiet location. Offered to the market with no onward chain, early viewing is highly recommended.
