A rare duplex apartment in a 1920s seafront building, this two-double-bedroom home offers sweeping sea views and a large private rear garden. The principal bedroom suite occupies the upper level with garden access, while the ground floor provides spacious living-dining space, kitchen-breakfast room and a second bedroom. The long lease (870 years remaining) and chain-free sale simplify purchase.
Character features include high ceilings, a bay window with panoramic coastal views and period plasterwork; double glazing is already installed. The generous garden and elevated harbour-facing position make this ideal for someone seeking a coastal base with outdoor space — suitable as a permanent home, holiday let or second home.
Practical points are straightforward: mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Service charges are approximately £1,200pa (circa £100pcm) and council tax is in Band B (around £2,004pa), so running costs should be considered alongside purchase price.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly: parking is unrestricted on-street only, the surrounding area has higher crime levels and indicators of local deprivation, and the building’s stone walls are likely uninsulated. The apartment is presented well but offers scope to modernise or reconfigure to add value — useful for buyers prepared to invest in updating.
