Summary - 36, Metropole Court TA24 5QR
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Gated entrance, parking and secluded outdoor space moments from the beach.
Sea-facing position — the sea is effectively the front garden
This well-proportioned two-bedroom flat occupies an outstanding seafront position where the sea is effectively your front garden. It has a rare private, gated entrance and a secluded courtyard that offers genuine outdoor space — a valuable find on the coastline. The flat is offered chain free and benefits from residents’ off-street parking, making it practical for full-time living or a lock-up-and-leave retreat.
Internally the rooms feel light and airy with generous bedroom proportions and a large sitting room. Recent updates include a re-fitted shower room (2023) and a new Baxi boiler installed January 2024 with a 10-year warranty. The apartment is spacious at about 1,055 sq ft and retains period character from its pre-1900 construction, which many buyers will find appealing.
There are important practical points to note. The property is leasehold with a service charge of £900 every six months (£1,800pa) and rules prohibit pets and holiday lets. The building dates from before 1900 and the external walls are stone with assumed no cavity insulation, so further thermal improvements may be necessary. Local crime is recorded as above average — an important consideration for some buyers.
Taken together, this home will suit downsizers or buyers seeking seaside living with private outdoor space and parking. It could also work as a long-term rental, but holiday letting is not permitted. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the position, courtyard and internal space against the leasehold running costs and conservation-era fabric.
