Summary - 90a Winchcombe Road BN22 8DF
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, low-maintenance home near seafront and town amenities.
- Ground-floor one-bedroom apartment, approx 355 sqft
- Private rear garden with paved seating and gated access
- Chain free sale with long lease (143 years remaining)
- Small ground rent £70 and very low council tax band A
- Compact layout — best for single occupants or investors
- EPC D; cavity walls assumed uninsulated, energy upgrade potential
- Above-average local crime rate — consider security measures
A compact ground-floor apartment with its own private rear garden, offered chain free and well suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The flat sits in a converted Victorian terrace and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a modern shower room. The living spaces are modest in scale (approximately 355 sq ft) and arranged simply for low-maintenance day-to-day living.
Practical points are straightforward: the long lease (143 years) and modest ground rent (£70) make it a secure leasehold purchase, while council tax is very low. The property has an EPC rating of D and cavity walls that are assumed uninsulated, so there is scope to improve energy efficiency and running costs over time.
Drawbacks to note are the compact overall size and an above-average local crime rate; the home is best for a single occupant, a couple, or an investor targeting manageable rental stock. On-street parking is available on a quiet one-way street and the town centre and seafront are within easy reach, which supports rental demand and everyday convenience.
Overall, this is an affordable, characterful ground-floor apartment with a private outdoor space and clear potential for modest energy upgrades and modernisation, offered with the reassurance of a long lease and no onward chain.
