Bright two-bedroom ground-floor apartment with garage and direct beachfront views.
Ground-floor apartment with direct beach and harbour views
Rare ground-floor apartment on Marine Parade with direct beach and harbour views — a calm seaside home for someone looking to downsize or buy a coastal retreat. The layout is traditional and roomy, with two double bedrooms, an en-suite to the principal and a separate guest shower room. Large windows and a sliding door bring in natural light and uninterrupted waterfront outlooks.
Practical positives include a secure garage, vacant possession on sale and recent double glazing. The property is well presented throughout and benefits from electric storage heating, making installation straightforward where different heating is preferred. The location is very quiet with low crime, excellent mobile signal and easy access to local cafés, pubs, a ferry and an excellent primary school nearby.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,968 per year and an expensive council tax band — factor these into ongoing costs. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, which may affect remote working. The building dates from the 1980s and while well maintained it presents good scope for cosmetic updating to suit a new owner’s tastes.
This apartment suits someone seeking a comfortable seaside home with strong local amenities and outstanding primary schooling close by, or an owner-occupier investor looking for a low-risk holiday-let location (check lease and letting permissions). The accommodation’s size and garage give flexibility for year-round living or seasonal use.
