A bright, top-floor one-bedroom apartment in Southwold House, offered chain free and recently renovated for immediate move-in. The property benefits from a lift to the second floor, an allocated off-street parking space and a practical, modern kitchen with integrated appliances — a genuine turnkey option for a first-time buyer or couple.
The living room faces south-west, providing good natural light, and the bedroom includes double-width mirrored wardrobes and character from slightly sloping ceilings. Commuters will appreciate the short walk to the train station, nearby bus stops and quick access to the M27; local shops, cafés and amenities are within easy reach.
Leasehold details are important: 102 years remain of the 125-year lease dated Feb 2022. Annual service charge is about £1,500 and ground rent currently £200 (contracted to increase to £400 after 25 years). These running costs and the finite lease term should be factored into long-term affordability and mortgageability.
The surrounding area is described as very affluent with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but local crime levels are reported as high — prospective buyers should check local safety data and consider this when viewing. Overall, this well-presented flat offers low-maintenance living, convenient transport links and immediate occupation for buyers seeking a practical, modern home.
