Bright, well-proportioned and ready to occupy, this top-floor two-bedroom apartment sits on the sought-after Golden Grid close to Westbourne and the beach. The ‘L’-shaped lounge/dining room opens to a balcony, bringing generous natural light and a pleasant outlook over the communal garden. A single garage adds practical parking or storage that is uncommon for flats in the area.
The property is offered with a share of the freehold and no onward chain, simplifying purchase for a first-time buyer. At around 845 sqft the layout feels comfortable for daily living, and there is an option to buy the existing furniture if you prefer a move-in ready solution. Local amenities, cafes and transport are an easy walk away, and pleasant chine walks lead straight to miles of sandy beach and the promenade.
Practical points to note: the block dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the heating is electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs than gas central heating. The building has double glazing but install dates are unknown. Crime levels in the wider area are above average, which buyers should consider when weighing secure parking and communal arrangements.
Overall this apartment is a convenient, bright coastal home with garage and freehold interest — an appealing choice for first-time buyers seeking seaside access and a straightforward purchase. Some updating and running-cost considerations mean the property will suit buyers comfortable with potential modernisation and energy-cost trade-offs.
