A compact ground-floor one-bedroom apartment positioned just 200 yards from Great Western Beach, ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking strong rental demand. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen with high ceilings and a large bay window feels airy despite the 364 sq ft footprint. The kitchen is fitted with solid woodblock worktops, integrated appliances and feature lighting. The bedroom leads to a modern en-suite shower room and a privately owned rear courtyard with a storage shed — unusual for a town-centre flat.
Practical advantages include a very long lease (remainder of a 999-year lease from 2009), mains gas central heating, uPVC double glazing fitted post-2002 and ultrafast broadband availability. Council Tax Band A and modest ground rent (£150 p.a.) keep running costs low. Pets and holiday lets are permitted, giving flexibility for owner-occupation or short-term rental income.
Buyers should note the apartment is small at 364 sq ft and sits in a densely populated town-centre location with higher local crime and very deprived area indicators. The building is a Victorian granite mid-terrace with assumed uninsulated solid walls, which may affect heat retention and future energy bills. The communal building contains six flats and an above-average service charge of £646.43 per year (noted as below average in the listing).
Overall this property offers affordable seaside proximity and strong transport links (train station one minute walk, A30 and airport access) in a popular rental market. It suits someone prioritising location, low entry cost and letting flexibility, while accepting the compromises of compact living, period walls and a town-centre setting.
