Summary - Flat 5, 5 Manilla Crescent BS23 2BS
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Ready-to-move-in 2 bed apartment close to town, beach and transport links.
South-facing sea and Marine Lake views from the open-plan living room
This bright, chain-free 2-bedroom apartment on Birnbeck Road sits on the 2nd floor with sweeping south-facing views over Marine Lake and Weston Bay — ideal for first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in coastal home. The open-plan living area of over 20ft is modern and light, with a fitted kitchen and room to relax or entertain while enjoying the sea outlook.
The building is Victorian with high ceilings and period character; the current owners have maintained the flat to a high standard. There are two double bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom, allocated off-street parking and a large storage cupboard — practical extras for everyday living. Pets are permitted and the property is offered with a new 999-year lease and a share of the freehold.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric room heaters which may be less efficient than gas systems, and the building’s original sandstone walls are assumed uninsulated. Service charges run at approximately £100 pcm (£1,200 per year). Broadband speeds are average locally, though mobile signal is excellent. The area offers immediate access to the seafront, marina, town amenities and good commuter links.
For a first-time buyer who prioritises location, move-in readiness and coastal views, this apartment delivers strong lifestyle value. Budget for slightly higher running costs from electric heating and consider insulation or heating upgrades if you want lower long-term bills.
