A compact one-bedroom lower-ground flat positioned just off the Eastern Esplanade, offered chain-free and with 110 years remaining on the lease. The living room benefits from a feature bay window and high ceilings that give the main space a bright, airy feel despite the lower-ground position. The apartment includes a separate kitchen/breakfast area with some integrated appliances, a double bedroom and a west-facing courtyard for afternoon sun.
Practical comforts include gas central heating, double glazing and a below-average service charge. The property is share of freehold and sits in a handsome Victorian red-brick villa block close to the seafront, making it appealing for buyers seeking a seaside base or a rental/holiday-let opportunity.
Buyers should note the neighbourhood context: the wider area is very deprived with higher-than-average crime, and the building is traditional solid-brick construction with no known installed wall insulation. The lower-ground location can mean reduced natural light compared with upper floors. Overall, the flat is well suited to a first-time buyer or investor looking for a compact coastal property with character, but it may require some cosmetic updating and consideration of the local social context.
