Set within a handsome Victorian detached building, this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers generous ceiling heights, a bay-fronted living room and genuine period character. The layout includes a large double bedroom, separate kitchen, family bathroom and private access door, making it a practical first home or coastal weekend retreat. The property is offered with a share of freehold, an extremely long lease (981 years) and allocated off-street parking — all rare benefits for this price band.
Practical savings include a below-average service charge (£850) and very low council tax. The flat is well placed for commuter convenience, a short walk to Warrior Square train station with direct links to London, plus local shops, cafes and amenities close by. Broadband speeds are fast, and the building’s solid Victorian construction gives scope for tasteful upgrading.
Buyers should note the wider area scores as very deprived and local crime is reported as very high; prospective purchasers should consider this when choosing the neighbourhood. Internally some windows are single glazed and the cavity walls likely lack insulation, so investment in secondary glazing or insulation would improve comfort and energy efficiency. The apartment is being sold with no onward chain, which can speed a purchase for the right buyer.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located one-bedroom with long-term security from its lease and share of freehold. It suits first-time buyers or investors seeking affordable coastal property with clear scope for sensible cosmetic or thermal improvements.
