Service charge circa £2,514.76 (2025); peppercorn ground rent

This south-facing first-floor apartment in West Bay occupies a convenient spot just back from the beach, harbour and coastal path. The living room opens to a sunroom with floor-to-ceiling windows, filling the space with light and framing sea glimpses over the communal gardens. With a long 999-year lease (remaining c. 968 years) and a share of freehold, ownership is straightforward and chain free.
The layout — hall, generous living/dining room with sunroom, compact kitchen, double bedroom and shower room — offers clear potential to modernise and increase rental appeal or personal comfort. It already benefits from off-street parking via a permit, double glazing, and sunny communal gardens, making it suitable as a holiday let, second home or easy-to-manage main residence.
Key running costs and constraints are factual: electric storage heating, an EPC rating of D, and a service charge (2025) around £2,514.76. Broadband speeds are limited in this area, and the property sits in a high flood-risk zone, which will affect insurance and may influence booking seasons for holiday lets.
For buyers seeking seaside lifestyle and lettings potential, this apartment balances convenient location and improvement upside against known practicalities — heating type, broadband limitations, flood risk and service charges — so it’s best suited to those prepared to invest modestly in upgrades and to plan for seasonal coastal considerations.
