Long lease (156 years); ground rent £35 per year

This ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Milton Conservation Area blends period character with practical modern living. A bright, south-facing living room and a well-equipped kitchen make day-to-day life comfortable, while the private courtyard and off-street parking add rare convenience close to the seafront.
The property has a long lease (156 years), modest ground rent (£35) and a below-average service charge (£906), making it straightforward for a first-time buyer or investor. The layout suits single occupants or couples seeking a manageable, well-located home with easy access to shops, transport links and pleasant coastal walks.
Buyers should note the building dates from 1900–1929 with solid brick walls and no assumed cavity insulation, so future energy-efficiency upgrades may be needed to reduce heating costs. The surrounding area is classified as deprived and local crime levels are above average, which may concern some purchasers despite the excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
Overall this flat offers immediate move-in potential with sensible running costs and scope to add value through targeted improvements to insulation and finishes. It’s best suited to buyers prioritising location, outdoor space and low initial outgoings, rather than those seeking a fully modern, turnkey property.
