1 bed 1 bath Flat
Perfect starter flat near train and beach.
Sea-facing private balcony with coastal outlook
Allocated off-street parking to rear
Modern fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom
One double bedroom; compact overall living space
Long lease remaining (approx. 120 years)
Double glazing fitted before 2002; may be less efficient
Solid brick walls assumed without insulation; potential heat loss
Local area: high crime and very deprived — consider location risks
Bright, compact and well-presented, this first-floor one-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into coastal living. The lounge and private balcony face towards the sea, bringing light and a pleasant outlook to everyday living. A modern fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom mean the property is largely move-in ready for a buyer seeking convenience over major renovation.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space and a long lease of around 120 years, providing security for buyers who need car access and long-term tenure. The flat is a short walk from the seafront and the train station, making it a practical choice for commuters and those who want cafés, shops and beaches on their doorstep.
Be direct about the downsides: the building is solid-brick with no cavity insulation (assumed) and double glazing was installed before 2002, so heating costs and thermal performance may be higher than modern standards. The local area records higher crime levels and is described as very deprived, which should be considered alongside the low council tax and strong transport links.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting a turn-key, seaside one-bedroom with easy access to local amenities. It’s an affordable, low-maintenance base with clear potential to improve thermal efficiency and décor over time.
