Summary - 26b St. Ronans Road PO4 0PT
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Ideal starter home for coastal living with low running costs and outdoor space.
Private entrance and private spacious garden close to the seafront
This lower-ground one-bedroom apartment offers an accessible coastal base with its own private entrance and a generous private garden — a rare find so close to the seafront. At around 666 sq ft the layout provides a large bay-fronted principal bedroom, separate living room, kitchen, bathroom and a small study/utility area, making it comfortable for a single occupant or couple.
The lease position is straightforward for a first-time purchase: 107 years remaining, ground rent £100 per year and building insurance approximately £30 per month. There is no ongoing monthly service charge, and council tax sits at Band A, keeping running costs low. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as fast and excellent respectively, and the area is affluent with very low crime.
Be clear about the property’s trade-offs. This is a lower-ground conversion so some rooms have reduced ceiling height, and the building’s cavity walls currently show no installed insulation (potential upgrade and cost). The property is offered in good decorative order but buyers should factor modest works if they want improved thermal performance or full modernisation.
Overall this flat suits first-time buyers wanting a low-maintenance coastal home or buy-to-let investors seeking a straightforward rental proposition. Proximity to the seafront, private outdoor space and low ongoing charges are the main selling points, balanced by the need to consider insulation and ceiling height when viewing.
