The Old King's Head was originally a pub and hotel. It is now a board games cafe with a large 3 bedroomed maisonette above. It is a grade II listed Georgian building dating from the 18th century, however, there has always been a pub on this site dating back to Tudor times and was reputedly the oldest in the old town of Hastings. We having lovingly restored the whole building singlehandedly over the last five years from a derelict shell. The interior has been fully sound proofed and thermally insulated, there is modern gas central heating and a wood burning stove which can also heat the hot water. The interior has been finished to a high standard and some original features retained including antique floorboards and one wall in the kitchen with its original medieval timber. The front south facing bedroom on the second floor has views to the sea and the RNLI boathouse. The bedrooms are all doubles, one with an ensuite, the 3rd bedroom has the option of 2 single beds or a kingsize double zip & link. The main bathroom has a cast iron roll top bath and shower. On the 1st floor the lounge has sea views, a large kitchen diner, utility room, a large hallway with desk and cloakroom. NB the parking space is next to the property- ideally suited for a small-medium car however, an estate car can fit with careful manoeuvring/reversing in but you must ensure you do not block/excessively overhang the pavement and park within the area indicated.
