This bright ground-floor property offers comfortable, contemporary living with its own private entrance and a west-facing outdoor space just moments from the seafront. The open lounge/dining area with French doors creates an easy indoor–outdoor flow, while two generous double bedrooms suit a small family or couple needing extra room.
Practical benefits include off-street parking with gated secure space for multiple vehicles, a modern kitchen, gas central heating with a recently installed combination boiler, and double glazing throughout. The flat extends to around 657 sq ft and sits on a very long lease (931 years), reducing typical leasehold concerns.
Buyers should note the building dates from the mid-20th century and the exterior shows mid-century styling that will need maintenance and cosmetic updating. Walls are original solid brick (no added insulation assumed), so further insulation and external repairs may be required if higher thermal performance is desired. The wider area scores as deprived, though local schools and seafront amenities are close by.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance property with clear investment and lifestyle appeal for families or buyers seeking easy access to the seafront. It offers immediate habitability with scope to add value through exterior and energy-efficiency improvements.
