Set on Wellington Esplanade, this spacious two-bedroom maisonette delivers genuine coastal living just steps from the beach. Large rooms, high ceilings and bay windows capture sea views and natural light, creating an appealing seaside atmosphere for everyday life or short-term letting.
Practical advantages include two modern shower rooms, rear parking with two bays, double glazing (post-2002) and a sizeable 973 sq ft footprint. The property is chain free and comes with a communal entrance and a small private lobby, making it easy to move in or let out quickly.
Important facts to note: the flat is leasehold with 95 years remaining and a maintenance charge of about £130 per month (average, £1,560 yearly). Heating is by electric room heaters and walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so energy efficiency and running costs will be higher than modern alternatives.
This home suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking a large, characterful seaside flat that’s ready to occupy but offers clear scope for improvement. The location benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and regular transport links to Norwich and beyond, although the wider area shows higher deprivation and local crime levels that prospective buyers should consider.
