Compact two‑bed apartment ideal for first‑time buyers or a seaside lock‑up‑and‑leave.
Large balcony with open views over Alum Chine
Set just yards from award‑winning sandy beaches, this two‑bedroom first‑floor apartment combines period character with a modern open‑plan layout. The living/kitchen/dining space opens to a large balcony — an excellent spot for sea air and outdoor relaxation — while the principal bedroom benefits from an en‑suite shower room. An allocated parking space and share of freehold add practical convenience for buyers seeking easy coastal living or a lock‑up‑and‑go holiday base.
The flat is compact at about 485 sq ft, so it will suit first‑time buyers or those wanting a low‑maintenance second home rather than families needing large rooms. Heating is electric via room heaters, and the building dates from the early 20th century with double glazing installed before 2002; the cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation. These factors could mean higher running costs and future improvement work to increase comfort and efficiency.
Chain‑free and in a sought‑after Alum Chine location, the property also offers good local amenities and transport links, with Westbourne’s cafes and shops a short distance away and nearby train and bus services. Council Tax Band B makes ongoing costs comparatively modest. Overall, this apartment is a tidy, characterful coastal option with clear upgrade potential for buyers prepared to improve energy performance and modernise heating.
Note: the apartment’s small overall size and electric heating are material considerations; factor potential insulation and heating upgrades into any purchase plans.
