Summary - 1 SALEM ROAD SHANKLIN PO37 6PE
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Affordable two-bedroom ground-floor flat, close to Shanklin shops and amenities.
Ground-floor two-bedroom flat with allocated off-street parking
This ground-floor, two-bedroom flat in central Shanklin offers an affordable entry into the local market, with a practical layout and allocated parking. The lounge and separate kitchen give comfortable living space while UPVC double glazing and modern electric heating keep running costs predictable. Its compact footprint and communal front lawn suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance home near shops and amenities.
The lease is long (497 years remaining) and the council tax band is low, which supports affordability for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers. The flat is in a mid-century purpose-built block with a tidy exterior; internal condition is not fully confirmed so a viewing and checks on services are recommended.
Notable drawbacks are the property’s small overall size and reliance on electric storage heating, which can be costly compared with gas heating. The area is described as deprived with above-average local crime statistics — factors to weigh for families or those prioritising long-term capital growth. Double glazing appears to pre-date 2002, so some windows may be older.
This property suits buyers seeking a move-in-able, budget-friendly flat in a well-served seaside town. It presents straightforward potential for modest cosmetic updates and could work as a rental or starter home for those who value proximity to shops, transport links and local schools.
