Expansive private roof terrace with direct sea views
Set in a historic listed building with many original features

Set on the top floor of an impressive former grand hotel, this four-bedroom apartment offers generous, well-proportioned rooms and a rare private roof terrace with open sea outlooks. Original period features — high ceilings, decorative coving and sash-style windows — give the apartment strong character and abundant natural light. The living room and dining areas are large enough for family living and entertaining.
Practical aspects suit family life: four double bedrooms, an en-suite to the principal bedroom, a separate utility room and a large fitted kitchen-diner. Off-street parking is managed by a resident permit scheme (current permit fee £25); the property occupies a convenient spot for King Edward’s Bay, Longsands Beach and local schools and amenities.
Buyers should note material points clearly. The building is listed, which will limit external alterations and may complicate works and consents. The apartment is leasehold (very long lease remaining: 948 years) and uses electric fuel with an electric boiler and radiators — running costs may be higher than gas alternatives. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation and could benefit from targeted thermal upgrades.
Other practicalities: council tax is above average, broadband speeds are average, and the local recorded crime level is high — factors to weigh for family safety and running costs. For those seeking a characterful coastal home with significant internal space and a spectacular terrace, this property presents strong lifestyle appeal paired with clear conservation and cost considerations.
