About Flat 4

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Flat 4 is a two-bedroom detached house in Eastbourne (BN21 4JD). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 60 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 53–394 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top.
