Top floor, end of the close, with the South Downs filling the view.
Polegate offers more than its size suggests — a mainline station with services to London Victoria and London Bridge (around an hour and twenty minutes on the fastest trains), a well-stocked High Street, local schools, and easy access to the A22 and A27. Hilary Close is a residential cul-de-sac on the town's eastern edge, and number 6 sits right at the far end. It's a top-floor maisonette backed by open countryside, so the outlook runs across the fields to the Downs — an aspect that is genuinely hard to find at this price.
A private ground-floor entrance and stairs lead up to the accommodation. The hallway makes a good first impression on storage, with a linen cupboard and a separate walk-in cupboard fitted with shelving and hanging rails. Both the living room and the kitchen face the rear, making the most of the countryside views. The kitchen has modern white gloss units, a dark granite-effect worktop, space for a cooker, plumbing for a washing machine and room for a fridge/freezer, with a breakfast bar for everyday meals. The living room is a well-proportioned, neutral space ready for your own stamp. Both bedrooms overlook the front, and the second has a generous walk-in store cupboard of its own. The bathroom is fitted with a WC, pedestal wash basin, full-size bath and an electric shower over.
To the rear is an open, shared garden space, mainly laid to lawn, with clothes-drying facilities and a path leading round to the maisonette's private entrance door. Parking is on-street. The property is freshly presented, ready to move into, and offered chain-free.
