This recently renovated ground-floor garden flat offers two double bedrooms, a brand-new open-plan kitchen, and a bright living room with a bay window overlooking the private garden. The layout is efficient, and the presentation is move-in ready — ideal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low immediate maintenance.
Practicalities are straightforward: double glazing and gas central heating throughout, long lease (983 years), low ground rent (£25/year) and a modest annual service charge (£1,200). The property is chain-free and conveniently placed for local shops, main bus routes, the town centre and the seafront, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
Buyers should note the local context: the wider area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels, and nearby neighbourhood characteristics may affect long-term resale or lettability. The garden is small and boundary-walled, and internal room sizes are average for a two-bedroom flat — good for couples or small families, but not spacious.
Overall, this is a well-presented, low-effort flat with authentic outdoor space and strong transport links. It suits first-time buyers wanting a turnkey home close to town and sea, or investors looking for a straightforward addition to a rental portfolio, provided they're comfortable with the local area profile.
