This top-floor one-bedroom apartment offers standout sea and estuary views from a large lounge — a rare find so close to the beach. The flat sits in an early 20th-century building with period character externally, yet the kitchen and bathroom have been updated for modern living. The long lease (161 years) and share of freehold reduce long-term ownership costs, and the property is offered chain-free for a quicker purchase.
The accommodation is compact (about 368 sq ft) and best suited to a single buyer, couple or investor seeking a seaside pied-à-terre. Double glazing and gas central heating provide comfort, while the modern fittings make the flat move-in ready. Off-street parking is available but on a first-come, first-served basis — useful but not guaranteed.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the apartment is small, walls are likely solid-brick with no built-in insulation, and the wider area records high crime rates and significant deprivation. Building insurance costs are modest but service charge and ground rent are reported as nil — this information is vendor-supplied and should be verified by your solicitor. Overall, this is a compact coastal property with clear strengths for those wanting sea views and low leasehold costs, balanced by size and local-area considerations.
