This top-floor two-bedroom apartment in Sovereign Harbour South offers direct marina views from a private balcony and bright open-plan living. At about 810 sq ft the layout feels spacious for its size, with a generous master bedroom and en-suite plus a second double bedroom. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and off-street resident parking make it practical for everyday living or short-term holiday lets.
The building is modern (constructed 1996–2002) with double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The apartment is chain-free and offered with a long lease (approximately 103 years remaining), which supports mortgageability and resale. Local amenities — waterfront eateries, shops, Crumbles shopping estate and the seafront — are within easy walking distance, appealing to first-time buyers and investors seeking lettable seaside accommodation.
Buyers should note this is leasehold with an annual ground rent of £250 and potential additional fees (leasehold/management charges and leasepack costs). Being a top-floor flat, access is via communal stairway and there is no indication of a lift. The property has one main bathroom plus an en-suite; families used to more bathrooms may find this limiting. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission their own service checks and surveys, particularly for heating, electrics and communal service charge details.
Overall, this apartment is a straightforward, well-located seaside purchase that suits a first-time buyer wanting move-in-ready accommodation or an investor targeting holiday lettings or long-term rental in an affluent, low-flood-risk harbour neighbourhood.
