This bright second-floor apartment occupies a recently converted building and offers contemporary living across roughly 861 sq ft. The open-plan living area with a modern fitted kitchen and a large converted loft-style bedroom creates a light, airy feel. Two double bedrooms and a stylish shower room make it practical for sharers, couples or first-time buyers.
Practical benefits include an allocated off-street parking space, share of freehold tenure and a relatively low annual service charge of about £600 (plus buildings insurance). The location is highly convenient: local shops, cafés, bus routes and the train station are close by, and the beach is within a short walk — good for commuters and leisure alike.
There are some material considerations to note. The building dates from the 1930–1949 period and appears to have cavity walls without added insulation, which may affect heating costs. The property has double glazing fitted before 2002. Local area indicators show higher crime levels and relative deprivation, which may be relevant for long-term buyers and investors. Lease length and ground rent details are yet to be confirmed, and holiday lets are not permitted.
Overall this top-floor flat combines turn-key modern fittings with real location convenience, but buyers should factor in fabric upgrades and local area characteristics when assessing value. Ideal for purchasers seeking an affordable, centrally placed base with scope to personalise and reduce running costs over time.
