Set directly on the seafront, this two-bedroom fifth-floor apartment offers genuine sea views and a private balcony — strong locational appeal for buyers seeking coastal living or a lettable seaside unit. The block has lift access to all floors and the flat comes with a long lease of approximately 102 years, providing tenure security uncommon at this price point.
Internally the layout is straightforward: an entrance hall, a living room with balcony access, two double bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, bathroom plus a separate W/C. The property is presented in good order and benefits from double glazing installed after 2002. At around 694 sq ft it sits in an average-sized footprint for a seaside flat and would suit an owner-occupier wanting easy access to the seafront or an investor targeting holiday or longer-term lets.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the block’s cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation — running costs may be higher than in gas-heated homes. The building is currently undergoing external works on one elevation, which suggests near-term communal maintenance costs. The area records very high crime and is classified as very deprived; that will affect resale, lettings profile and insurance premiums.
Practical details: there is a modest annual ground rent (£100) and additional leasehold administration or pack fees may apply on sale. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission surveys and check service records and communal maintenance liabilities before committing.
