Set on the seventh floor of Number One The Leas, this two-bedroom apartment delivers striking views across the English Channel and East Cliff. The open-plan living area with a modern fitted kitchen and central breakfast bar makes the most of the light and outlook, creating a comfortable primary living space or attractive rental unit.
The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, with a second modern bathroom serving the second bedroom and guests. Large windows frame the coastal panorama and there is communal roof terrace access to enjoy the promenade and sea air. The property is a short walk from the high-speed railway station and local shops, suiting commuters and those wanting easy town-centre access.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold with 86 years remaining, an above-average service charge of approximately £4,400 per year and a small ground rent of £200. The local area records high crime levels and significant deprivation; these factors will affect resale and rental demand and should be considered by buyers and lenders.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a coastal position with strong transport links — either a commuter looking for a ready-to-move-in home or an investor targeting holiday or longer-term lets. The accommodation is described as well-presented, but buyers should verify fixtures, services and communal arrangements in person and when arranging finance.
