This generous one-bedroom apartment sits on Waterloo Street, a short walk from the station, shops, seafront and beaches — a convenient base for town-centre living. High ceilings and large rooms reflect the building's Victorian character, giving a spacious feel rare at this price point. The layout includes a separate study, offering useful home-working space or storage.
Practical running costs and comfort are mixed: the flat uses electric storage heating and has mostly dated glazing, and the building’s granite walls are likely uninsulated. The EPC rating is D. These factors mean the property will suit someone prepared to accept modest energy inefficiency or to invest in targeted upgrades over time.
The home is leasehold with about 110 years remaining, modest ground rent and a service charge. Flooding risk is medium and local crime levels and area deprivation are higher than average; buyers should consider insurance and personal-safety implications. That said, the town-centre position, good local amenities and nearby outstanding primary school make it an attractive prospect for a first-time buyer or investor seeking rental demand.
Overall, this apartment offers strong location value and characterful space for a low capital outlay. It will particularly suit buyers wanting immediate access to town and transport, or investors seeking an affordable addition to a rental portfolio, provided they accept the property's maintenance and energy-efficiency limitations.
