Practical benefits include freehold tenure, resident permit parking to the front (managed by the factor), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—all useful for commuters and home-workers. The building’s service charge sits at £960 per year (below average) and Council Tax is Band D; permit parking is charged at around £80 per month. There is no flooding risk recorded for this location.
The Shore location places shops, cafes, restaurants and waterfront routes within easy walking distance, making everyday errands and leisure highly convenient. The property’s tidy condition means buyers can move in quickly and personalise over time rather than take on immediate renovation.
