This wonderful three-bedroom detached house extends over 1,400 sq ft and is a highly original example of the Arts and Crafts movement in Eastbourne, the façade draws stylistically on the architecture of the low countries, with a distinct Dutch Gable. Nationally, it is a rarity for the original fabric of houses of this era to remain intact to this extent. The house has a large mature garden, with a beautiful weeping willow.
Setting the Scene
Glynde Avenue was one of the first streets to be constructed in the Hampden Park area of Eastbourne following the area’s sale to the Eastbourne Corporation in 1901. The wide, curved avenue was built in 1909 to much acclaim for the quality and variation of its architecture, as well as its implementation of the principles of the Garden City movement. For more information on the area, please see the History section below.
