Set on the eighth level of a purpose-built block, this two-bedroom apartment delivers direct coastal outlooks from its dual-aspect sitting room and balcony. The long lease (960 years remaining) and share of the freehold give ownership certainty, while allocated parking adds a practical edge rarely found so close to the seafront.
Internally the layout is traditional and well-proportioned: a fitted kitchen, refitted bathroom and two bedrooms make the apartment immediately habitable for owner-occupation or let-ready for investors. Large windows and the balcony maximise light and the superb views down and along the promenade and English Channel are the standout feature.
Buyers should note the property uses electric room heaters and has cavity walls assumed without added insulation, which can affect running costs. Annual maintenance is approximately £3,452, paid six-monthly, and the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s so communal upkeep and periodic works may be required. The surrounding area records higher-than-average crime levels, so consider local security and insurance implications.
Overall this apartment suits buyers after a seafront position with strong rental appeal or a hassle-light coastal base. The combination of long lease, share of freehold and parking makes it a practical purchase; budget for running costs and potential communal maintenance when assessing value.
