Why they chose this property
Crown Cottage is nestled in the heart of Eastbourne's historic Old Town, a charming conservation area that has retained much of its original village character. Long before Eastbourne became a popular seaside resort, Old Town was the centre of the local community, and today its tree-lined streets, period cottages and independent businesses make it one of the town's most desirable places to stay.
Just around the corner, you'll find a wonderful selection of independent cafés, bakeries, local shops and traditional pubs, including The Lamb and The Rainbow, both less than a two-minute walk from the cottage. Whether you're looking for a leisurely breakfast, a freshly brewed coffee or a cosy pub meal, everything is within easy walking distance.
Old Town is also home to the beautiful St Mary's Church, with parts of the building dating back to the 12th century, and the picturesque Motcombe Gardens, a peaceful green space featuring a duck pond, ornamental gardens and a café. It's the perfect place for a relaxing stroll or a quiet afternoon.
For walkers and nature lovers, the South Downs National Park is just moments away, offering spectacular countryside, rolling hills and scenic walking routes leading towards Beachy Head and the iconic Seven Sisters cliffs.
Although Old Town enjoys a peaceful village atmosphere, you're only a 10-minute walk from Eastbourne town centre and the railway station, making it easy to enjoy the town's theatres, seafront, shopping and excellent transport links while returning to the tranquillity and charm of this unique historic neighbourhood.
