St Matthews Gardens, St. Leonards-On-Sea, TN38 0TS

Occupying the entire ground floor of a detached Edwardian residence, this two-bedroom apartment on St Matthews Gardens unfolds with a sense of quiet proportion.

Tall sash windows draw soft, even light throughout the interiors, while retained original details lend texture and depth.

Set slightly back behind its own front garden, the apartment directly borders the gated St Matthews Gardens.

Inside Entry is through a deep blue timber door into a broad central hallway, where original panelled doors sit within contrasting painted frames.

Exposed floorboards run throughout, lending warmth and continuity. The main reception sits to the rear, where a large bay window frames views of the neighbouring walled gardens.

A lightly veined marble fireplace anchors the room, paired with a wood-burning stove and playful tiled surround.

Generous proportions comfortably allow for both seating and dining, while the southerly aspect draws the sun throughout the day.

The kitchen is set alongside, contemporary in finish and restrained in tone. Neutral cabinetry is combined with a cleverly formed breakfast bar set within a glazed niche.

To the rear, a walk-in pantry with a pretty casement window provides a practical and well-considered extension of the space. The principal bedroom sits to the front, painted in an earthy green.

A familiar, generously proportioned bay window looks out over the front garden and the quiet street beyond.

The second double bedroom is positioned alongside, currently arranged as an office, with twin timber sash windows providing views of the walled front garden.

Stairs descend to the lower ground floor, currently arranged as an additional reception room, offering flexibility without intruding on the principal rooms above.

The bathroom is finished in a soft palette, lined with painted panelling and patterned tiled flooring underfoot.

Opposing timber windows offer gentle natural light, while a walk-in shower finished in glazed ceramic tiling completes the space.

It directly borders the gated St Matthew’s Gardens, an established and mature green space available to residents via membership.
