Set on the first floor and within easy walking distance of the seafront, this two-bedroom flat offers a practical, move-in-ready base for a first-time buyer or someone seeking a low-maintenance coastal home. The property benefits from a modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, gas central heating, double glazing and a rare private garage — a useful bonus in this area. Communal gardens provide outdoor space without upkeep responsibility.
The long lease (approximately 945 years remaining), low annual service charge (circa £300) and minimal ground rent (£20) make the tenure unusually secure and cost-effective for buyers who value predictability. Rooms are described as good-sized with built-in storage in the hallway and principal bedroom, plus loft access for extra storage.
Be candid about the neighbourhood realities: the social statistics show a very deprived area and higher local crime rates than average, which may affect resale pricing and long-term uplift. For purchasers prioritising location and affordability close to the promenade, this flat presents clear value, but prospective buyers should view the neighbourhood at different times and consider security measures.
Overall, the flat suits buyers seeking an affordable step onto the property ladder or a low-maintenance seaside retreat with strong tenure and low running costs. It’s presented in a contemporary style internally, but purchasers wanting premium finishes or major renovation should allow budget accordingly.
