Summary - 131, NORTH ROAD SS0 7AH
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Light-filled one-bedroom near shops, seafront and transport links.
Chain free with a 159-year lease
A bright first-floor apartment in a Victorian semi-detached building, offered chain free with a long 159-year lease. The living room receives generous natural light and the double bedroom easily accommodates bedroom furniture. The kitchen is well sized with good storage and worktop space, while the bathroom has a modern shower and there is a separate WC for convenience.
This home suits a first-time buyer, downsizer or investor seeking a straightforward, low-entry purchase close to shops, transport and the seafront. Council Tax Band A and mains gas central heating help keep running costs low. The property’s period character, bay-window frontage and clear layout give scope to personalise and increase value with modest updating.
Important practical points: the building dates from the early 1900s and walls are solid brick with no known insulation, so upgrading wall or loft insulation could improve comfort and energy efficiency. The local area scores high for crime and is classified as very deprived—important factors for some buyers and for rental considerations. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is no flood risk.
Overall this is a compact, well-lit apartment in a convenient coastal town location with immediate move-in potential and clear scope for improvement. Buyers should weigh the long lease and low running costs against local area challenges when deciding whether to view.
