Summary - Flat 2, 27 Talbot Street PR8 1HP
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Compact town-centre flat with parking and easy rail links for first-time buyers.
Long leasehold with circa 298 years remaining
This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment on Talbot Street offers a compact, ready-to-move-in home close to Southport town centre. The open-plan kitchen/lounge and a large double bedroom with a bay window make efficient use of about 524 sq ft, suitable for a first-time buyer or couple.
Practical features include gas central heating with underfloor heating, modern double glazing, communal gardens and off-street parking. The property sits within easy walking distance of the promenade, shops and the railway station with links to Liverpool and Manchester, which supports commuter lifestyles.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with a long lease (residual 999 years originally, 298 years remaining from a stated baseline) and an annual service charge of approximately £1,000 towards communal upkeep and insurance. The neighbourhood records higher crime levels and is in a very deprived area classification, which may affect resale and rental demand.
The apartment presents good value for first-time purchasers seeking a low-maintenance central base with transport links. There is scope to personalise the interiors, but structural or insulation upgrades (cavity walls assumed uninsulated) may be desired for long-term energy efficiency.
