Set on the fourth floor of a 1930s Art Deco block, this one-bedroom apartment delivers bright living space and direct estuary views. The large lounge-diner with bay windows frames south-facing outlooks toward the estuary and Belfairs woods, making it a light, airy home for a commuter or first-time buyer. Two lifts provide easy access to the fourth-floor entrance.
Practical strengths include a long lease (157 years), double glazing, fitted bedroom wardrobes and built-in kitchen appliances. The building operates a community heating scheme and the service charge (approx. £3,396 pa / £283 pcm) covers water, buildings insurance, gas and heating, simplifying running costs.
Buyers should note factual drawbacks: the property sits in a block with solid brick construction (likely no wall insulation), which may affect heating efficiency and future retrofit costs. The service charge level and communal management are important ongoing commitments. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported above average, which prospective buyers may wish to investigate further.
Overall this well-presented flat is a practical choice for a commuter or investor seeking a seaside location, generous principal rooms and a long lease, provided you accept communal running costs and potential refurbishment to improve thermal efficiency.
