Set on the second floor of a well-maintained modern block on The Broadway, this two-bedroom apartment offers bright, practical living for a first-time buyer or commuter. Dual-aspect reception space and two balconies provide strong natural light and simple indoor-outdoor flow for morning coffee or evening air. Both bedrooms are doubles, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite for added convenience.
The apartment includes private undercroft parking — a valuable city-suburban perk — and sits a short walk from Thorpe Bay station, local shops and the seafront, making daily commutes and leisure straightforward. The long lease (979 years) removes immediate leasehold concerns and the building was constructed in the early 2000s with double glazing and gas central heating already installed.
Buyers should note the property is modest in overall size (561 sq ft) and the service charge is relatively high at around £3,000 per year (includes water and ground rent). Council tax is above average. These running costs are important for budgeting and may affect buy-to-let yields, although the coastal location and good transport links support rental demand.
Overall this is a well-presented, chain-free flat that suits a first-time purchaser seeking a low-maintenance, well-located home close to sea and station. Its compact footprint and service charges mean it’s best for buyers prioritising location and convenience over large private outdoor space.
