Bright, modern kitchen and four-piece bathroom

High local crime levels and area marked as very deprived

Spacious two-bedroom apartment of about 1,001 sqft offering generous living space close to Southport town centre. The large, sunlit lounge opens onto a private balcony for fresh air and simple outdoor seating. A bright, modern kitchen and a four-piece bathroom add contemporary convenience, while two well-proportioned bedrooms suit a couple, small family, or rental occupants.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, access to a communal garden, and mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators. The flat is chain free and presented as a substantial, freehold property — a rare combination for town-centre apartments at this price point, making it appealing to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the wider area records high crime levels and significant deprivation, and the building dates from the late 1970s–early 1980s so fabric and services may need inspection. The hallway shows dated finishes and some areas are likely only partially insulated; double glazing installation date is unknown. These factors suggest potential short-term refresh or targeted upgrades to improve comfort and resale/rental appeal.
Overall this apartment offers strong size and location advantages with clear scope for cosmetic improvement and performance upgrades. It suits anyone wanting a large, centrally positioned home to customise, or an investor seeking a sizeable two-bedroom flat with parking and outdoor communal space.
