A ground-floor, one-bedroom freehold apartment offered chain-free and well placed for Harwich seafront, town centre and railway station. The compact layout (c.474 sq ft) features a bay-windowed living room with high ceilings and an open-plan kitchen area, plus off-street parking to the rear — practical for a first purchase or rental prospect.
The building dates from 1930–1949 and retains period character such as high ceilings and bay windows, but the flat uses electric storage heaters and solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation. Expect running-cost considerations and limited thermal efficiency; double glazing has been installed after 2002.
The location is convenient for local amenities, transport links and the beach, which supports rental demand and day-to-day convenience. However, the surrounding area records above-average crime and significant local deprivation; buyers should weigh neighbourhood factors and arrange local checks.
This apartment suits a budget-conscious buyer seeking a low-entry seaside location or an investor looking for a lettable ground-floor unit. It will benefit from cosmetic updating and a services survey to confirm electrics, heating and insulation opportunities before purchase.
