Set in a small purpose-built block of six flats, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers a practical and secure starter home close to Southport town centre. The generous lounge, dining kitchen and two double bedrooms give comfortable living space for a couple or small family, while communal gardens, rear parking and a private garage add rare outdoor and storage benefits for an apartment.
The flat is fitted with gas central heating, double glazing to the main rooms and a Vaillant boiler, keeping running costs moderate. The long lease (999 years from 1989) removes a common leasehold worry and the service charge is modest at about £60 per month. Local amenities, good primary and secondary schools and transport links are all within easy reach, making day-to-day life straightforward.
Buyers should note a few material points: the small office window is single glazed and some external cavity walls are recorded without insulation (assumed), so there may be scope for improving thermal efficiency. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow. The wider neighbourhood scores as relatively deprived, which may influence resale or rental demand for some buyers.
Overall this genuinely affordable flat represents a sensible entry onto the property ladder or a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity for someone looking for solid basic accommodation with parking and a garage in a convenient town-centre location.
