This ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers low‑step access, private front and rear gardens, and a single garage with parking — a practical, low‑maintenance home for someone looking to downsize near the coast. The living room is unusually long (about 22ft), giving flexible space for sitting and dining. uPVC double glazing, mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C (70) are practical comforts that keep running costs reasonable.
The layout and location suit a retirement buyer: single-level accommodation, easy access to local amenities, the train station and the beach. The property is offered chain free and has an average internal size of about 542 sq ft, with a generous bedroom and a compact kitchen with room for standard appliances. The combi boiler is believed to have been installed within the last five years (not tested).
Important leasehold and local considerations: the current lease has around 77 years remaining (from an original 125‑year term), and mortgage lenders may have stricter criteria or refuse lending until the lease is extended. The flat is on leasehold with a peppercorn ground rent but buyers should confirm extension options and costs with their solicitor. The area registers above‑average crime and very high deprivation scores; prospective purchasers should review local factors before committing.
The property will suit a buyer seeking straightforward, single‑level living with potential to modernise the kitchen and finishes. It offers clear benefits — garage, garden, parking and coastal access — but also practical caveats (limited lease length, dated internal fittings and local area indicators) that should be weighed in any offer.
