This well-presented one-bedroom apartment sits on the second floor of a modern development close to the seafront, shops and good transport links. The flat offers a large double bedroom, a combined living/dining room with balcony, demised parking space and useful storage — practical for low-maintenance living.
The property benefits from a long lease (999 years from 2003), EPC B rating and double glazing installed after 2002. Service charge and ground rent are modestly pitched for the development and the council tax band is very low, supporting an affordable running cost profile. Constructed between 2007–2011, the building is relatively recent and insulated cavity walls are assumed.
Notable considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating, broadband speeds are average, and the area records higher-than-average crime levels. The development is classified as communal retirement/ageing urban communities, which may affect the building dynamic and suitability for some buyers. The property is leasehold and any buyer should confirm tenure details with their solicitor.
Overall this is a sensible buy for someone seeking a low-upkeep, well-located one-bedroom home or an investment in a seaside town. It suits downsizers or investors looking for straightforward accommodation with ready access to local amenities and transport.
