Sunny seaside apartment with parking and long lease, ideal for downsizers or investors.
South-facing lounge and kitchen with good natural light
Allocated off-street parking space and outside shed
Very long lease (962 years) with share of freehold
Chain free sale for quicker completion
Compact overall size — about 340 sq ft
Electric storage heaters; higher running costs likely
Cavity walls assumed uninsulated — potential efficiency concern
Service charge £522 pa; council tax Band A very cheap
This ground-floor one-bedroom flat sits a short walk from local shops and Hayling Island’s seafront, offering easy coastal living in a compact package. The south-facing lounge and kitchen deliver natural light throughout the day, and an allocated off-street parking space adds rare convenience for a property of this size.
The home is offered chain free with a very long lease (962 years) and a share of the freehold, which removes a common barrier for buyers. Service charges are modest at £522 per year and council tax is in Band A, keeping ongoing costs comparatively low. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and flood risk is low.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas alternatives, and the building’s cavity walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed), so energy efficiency may be lower than newer builds. The flat is small (approximately 340 sq ft) and will suit someone seeking a compact home or a lettable investment rather than a family house.
Overall, this tidy, south-facing flat will appeal to downsizers, first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors looking for a low-maintenance coastal base with long lease security and convenient parking. Minor cosmetic updating could add value and improve comfort quickly.
