This bright, immaculately presented second-floor apartment occupies an elevated position with impressive estuary views across the Kent Estuary to the Lakeland fells. The layout is practical and versatile: a cosy living room with dining space, a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom. Well-maintained communal gardens, a front patio and a residents’ store complete the external space.
Practical benefits include one allocated off-street parking space to the rear, visitor parking, communal laundry/store facilities and a very long lease (circa 972 years). The property is offered as leasehold with a service charge of approximately £150 per month (covers buildings insurance, maintenance, gardener, window cleaning and communal upkeep). The apartment can be used as a residential home or as a holiday let.
Important points to note: heating is electric via room heaters and an electric boiler rather than gas central heating, and the building’s original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to be uninsulated. There is no recorded flood risk and the area has very low crime, fast broadband, and is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — making it especially appealing for quieter retirement living or a seaside second home.
Overall this is a low-maintenance, characterful period apartment with striking views and modern finishes. It will particularly suit downsizers or buyers seeking a seaside base with straightforward management, though buyers wanting gas central heating or high thermal performance should be aware of the current electric heating and likely wall insulation limitations.
