Spacious coastal flat with character, parking and long lease.
Panoramic sea and River Mersey views from private wraparound balcony
This spacious two-bedroom first-floor flat in New Brighton delivers dramatic uninterrupted sea and River Mersey views from a private wraparound balcony. Set within a character Victorian building, the home offers high ceilings, a generous reception room with an original fireplace, and two bathrooms — including an en-suite to the master — across approximately 928 sq ft. With no onward chain and residents’ off-street parking, it’s ready for a quick move.
The current owners have carried out some upgrades: double glazing (post-2002) and a recently fitted boiler improve comfort and energy performance. Practical features include mains gas central heating, a sensible service charge (£1,800 pa) and an exceptionally long lease (approx. 987 years), making ownership straightforward for purchasers and investors.
Buyers should be aware of several material considerations. Portions of the building are character-built solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, and some internal areas show dated finishes and potential damp/mould requiring attention and modernisation. The surrounding neighbourhood scores as deprived with average crime levels — factors to weigh for families or those prioritising strong local amenities.
Overall this is a large, characterful seaside apartment that will appeal to downsizers or buyers seeking a prominent coastal view and scope to add value through sympathetic updating. Council Tax is low (Band A) and the flat carries no flood risk, strengthening its practical appeal.
