Summary - 16 DOVEDALE COURT SEAHAM SR7 0HL
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable starter or buy-to-let near the coast with parking included.
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment with balcony
A top-floor, two-bedroom apartment offered with vacant possession and no onward chain — ready for a quick move or immediate letting. The living room opens onto a balcony via bright French doors, and the galley kitchen comes with a new oven, washing machine and fridge-freezer included. The modern bathroom provides both a bath and a separate shower. An allocated off-street parking space adds practical convenience.
This leasehold home has long lease terms (approximately 104 years remaining) and could suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter property or investors targeting local rental demand (estimated potential monthly rent £500). Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools lie within easy reach. The North East coastline is also nearby for weekend walks.
Buyers should note the running costs: an average service charge of £1,560 and ground rent of £316, both reviewed annually. The local area is classified as deprived with average crime levels, so viewings should consider wider neighbourhood context. Council tax is described as cheap, which helps running costs.
Overall this apartment offers straightforward, affordable accommodation with immediate availability and rental potential, but carries ongoing leasehold costs and sits in a more deprived area. It will suit buyers prioritising value, ease of purchase and proximity to local amenities rather than those seeking a low-maintenance, high-spec investment.
