Set on the first floor and tucked away at the edge of Westward Ho!, this purpose-built two-bedroom apartment makes the most of an elevated position with far-reaching coastal views towards Northam Burrows. The large, light lounge feels comfortable and provides the principal living space, while a separate kitchen and three-piece bathroom keep the layout practical for everyday living or holiday use.
The property comes with a long 999-year lease and is offered as a share of freehold, with modest monthly charges for communal upkeep. Residents’ off-street parking adds convenience, and the no-onward-chain sale allows a straightforward purchase for buyers wanting to move quickly. Broadband speeds are fast and crime levels are very low in the area.
Important practical points: the flat is compact at around 532 sq ft, so it suits buyers seeking a low-maintenance, smaller home. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive to run than gas central heating. Constructed in the 1980s, the building has double glazing but the install date is unknown, so buyers should check windows and communal maintenance records.
This apartment will appeal to downsizers or buyers wanting a lock-up-and-leave coastal retreat, as well as investors seeking a straightforward let in a popular seaside village. Its combination of views, location and long lease make it a practical, low-hassle option close to the beach, golf course and local amenities.
