About

St Anthony's Hill is a residential neighbourhood situated on the western side of Eastbourne, rising inland from the seafront. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, primarily consisting of Victorian and Edwardian terraced homes along its lower slopes, with more modern developments and larger detached properties found higher up. Its streets are generally quiet, with local shops and services clustered along the main thoroughfares like St Anthony's Road, catering to daily needs.

The hill offers elevated views across the town and towards the South Downs, with the open green space of Motcombe Gardens located nearby at its base. A notable local landmark is the large, distinctive water tower that stands prominently on the summit, a visible reference point from much of the surrounding area. The neighbourhood provides straightforward access to the town centre while maintaining a separate, settled residential atmosphere.
