This exceptionally spacious ground-floor apartment occupies the entire ground level of a Victorian semi-detached building and offers generous, flexible living spaces. Two large double bedrooms, a very large lounge/diner and a standout kitchen with exposed brickwork give a strong sense of period character combined with contemporary finish. A separate utility room and cloakroom add everyday convenience.
The apartment has private rear access onto well-kept communal gardens that lead to the seafront, plus a garage for parking. A long share of freehold and an unusually long lease (approximately 934 years) provide secure tenure. Nearby schools include Good and Outstanding-rated options, making the location appealing to families.
Practical points to note: the property sits in a more deprived local area and broadband speeds are slow, which may affect home working. The building dates from 1900–1929 and appears to have cavity walls without insulation (assumed), so further insulation work could improve efficiency. Service charges average £1,884 per year. Converting the dining area to a third bedroom or home office would be subject to planning permission.
Overall, this is a move-in-ready, characterful flat for buyers seeking generous proportions and versatility close to the sea. It will particularly suit families or buyers who prioritise space, period detail and outdoor access, and who are comfortable addressing typical Victorian-era maintenance and modernization tasks over time.
