This spacious two-bedroom apartment occupies a prominent seafront conversion and offers genuine seaside appeal with large rooms and impressive period features. The generous lounge/diner and bay windows capture views toward the Esplanade, clock tower and sea, while a modern kitchen, balcony and recently fitted bathroom provide ready-to-live-in convenience. At about 1,003 sq ft this flat feels larger than typical two-bed homes and suits a holiday home, income investor or a buyer seeking a comfortable permanent base by the sea.
Practical advantages include lift access within the block, double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and the option to buy a garage by separate negotiation. The apartment is offered chain free and presented in good decorative order, so minimal immediate spending is likely for cosmetic work.
Notable matters to check: the paperwork contains mixed references to basement and first-floor positions—buyers should confirm exact floor level and entrance arrangements. The building is a late‑Victorian/Edwardian conversion (pre‑1900) with timber-frame walls assumed to lack insulation, and the EPC is E; heating and insulation upgrades may be needed to improve efficiency. Tenure details are not provided and there is a communal maintenance agreement — obtain full service charge and freehold/leasehold information before offer.
Other practical points: the location is lively and well connected with excellent mobile and fast broadband, but recorded local crime is above average. For purchasers targeting holiday-let or long-stay rental income, the apartment’s size, seafront position and proximity to local attractions are strong positives; for permanent residents, consider the potential for higher running costs and the need to confirm legal/title details.
