A bright first-floor apartment with sweeping sea views across The Solent towards the Isle of Wight. The large bay lounge/diner and high ceilings give a spacious, airy feel uncommon for flats of this size, while the lift to all floors and allocated parking make day-to-day living straightforward. Offered with no chain and a long lease/share of freehold, the flat suits buyers seeking a coastal home or a lettable seaside asset.
Practical details are clear: a fitted kitchen with appliances, two bedrooms (one narrow second room), bathroom, and useful built-in storage. The property is heated by electric night storage heaters and has double glazing; the building dates from the early 20th century and retains period character such as bay windows and coved ceilings.
Be realistic about running and maintenance costs. The annual service charge is £3,309.18 (includes buildings insurance and reserve fund). Heating is electric storage, and external walls are cavity as built with no added insulation (likely higher energy costs). The immediate neighbourhood is lively and well served by amenities and transport, but local crime statistics are higher than average, which may affect some buyers' priorities.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful seaside flat with strong rental and lifestyle appeal for someone who values coastal views and convenience. Cosmetic updating or insulation improvements could add value and improve running costs, while the long lease and share of freehold reduce common ownership concerns.
