Set directly on the promenade at Little Bispham, this two-bedroom second-floor apartment offers direct sea views, a garage and well-kept communal gardens — a straightforward, low-stairs option for someone looking to downsize to the coast. Recent upgrades include new double glazing, a 2021 Elkatherm electric heating system (25-year warranty), a 2021 Sunamp low-energy water heater (10-year warranty) and a newly fitted shower room (2022).
The layout is traditional and practical: entrance hall, generous lounge/diner with box window and sea outlook, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a sizeable shower room. The property occupies an average-sized 698 sq ft and comes with a single garage and private parking to the front — useful for owners who still need a car.
Important practical points are clear: the flat is leasehold with a service charge of about £1,200 per year (£300 quarterly) and electric storage heating and water heating are the main fuel sources, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas heating. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has cavity walls assumed without added insulation, so further improvement work is possible if you want to reduce energy bills.
This apartment suits a downsizer or retirement buyer who values seaside living, convenience to local shops and tram links, and a home that’s ready to occupy with several recent mechanical upgrades. Note the local area records above-average crime and average broadband/mobile signal, which should be considered when assessing convenience and security.
