Lease c.64 years — may limit mortgage options and resale appeal
Electric storage heaters and electric main fuel — potentially higher running costs
Compact 474 sq ft single-level layout — low-maintenance but limited space
Double glazing (pre-2002) and 1990s construction — generally sound but aging components possible
This one-bedroom apartment sits directly opposite the seafront in South Harbour, offering an immediate coastal lifestyle and pleasant sea views from the block. At 474 sq ft, the flat is compact and practical, arranged on a single level with a medium-sized living room, fitted kitchen and one double bedroom. Off-street parking and a share of the freehold add rare convenience and ownership appeal for a property of this size.
The property is offered chain free, which speeds up move-in for a first-time buyer or investor. The building is modern-traditional brick construction (early 1990s) with double glazing and maintained communal grounds, creating a neat, low-maintenance setting. Broadband and mobile signals are good, and local schools and transport links are within easy reach.
Buyers should note material leasehold considerations: the remaining lease term is around 64 years. That can limit mortgage options and may require lease extension costs or specialist lending. Heating runs on electric storage heaters and the property uses electricity for fuel, which can be more expensive than gas for regular heating.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking seafront living, a couple wanting a low-maintenance home, or an investor targeting holiday lettings or long-term rental. Prospective purchasers are advised to check lease details, service charges and lender eligibility before committing, and to budget for potential future costs to extend the lease or upgrade heating if desired.
