This second-floor apartment sits in a striking Grade II listed cliff‑top building with a private 43' balcony and panoramic sea and harbour views. The layout offers two double bedrooms (one en‑suite), a second bathroom and an open‑plan living/dining area leading onto the balcony — ideal for someone seeking coastal living without extensive grounds maintenance. The building is lift‑served and includes allocated parking, gated access to the beach walkway and attractive communal gardens.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (969 years), share of freehold ownership, off‑street parking and direct pedestrian access to the regenerated harbour and seafront amenities. The property’s position and balcony are standout lifestyle and lettability features for downsizers or holiday rental use.
Buyers should note material constraints: the apartment is Grade II listed — any alterations will be restricted and require consent, which may complicate works. Broadband speeds are reported slow despite excellent mobile signal. EPC is currently awaited. The surrounding area shows higher crime levels and economic deprivation, factors to weigh against the location benefits.
Overall this is a characterful seafront apartment offering immediate coastal lifestyle and strong long‑term tenure. It suits a purchaser who values views, communal grounds and easy beach access, and who is comfortable with listed‑building constraints and local area considerations.
