Description

Located within the popular Sovereign Harbour Marina development, this modern three/four-bedroom freehold house presents a compelling opportunity for investors and owner-occupiers alike. Offered with vacant possession on completion and requiring only minor decorative improvements, the property provides immediate scope to add value while benefiting from a well-established and in-demand coastal location.

The accommodation includes generous living space, making it well suited to family occupation or the rental market. A garage and off-street parking further enhance the appeal, particularly within this development, where parking is a key consideration.

Sovereign Harbour is highly regarded for its marina setting, with waterfront walks, local cafés, restaurants, and nearby retail facilities. Eastbourne town centre, seafront, and mainline station are all easily accessible, while the area supports consistent rental demand and strong long-term desirability.

This property offers a rare auction opportunity, combining a sought-after location, freehold tenure, and the potential to add value with minimal work—ideal for both investors and owner-occupiers.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
