A compact, modern one-bedroom flat on Ocean Drive offered with no onward chain and a long lease. The open-plan living space leads to a balcony large enough for a table and chairs, providing pleasant outdoor seating and urban views. Allocated off-street parking is included, removing the need to search for a space.
The interior is contemporary and well presented with laminate and wood-effect floors, integrated kitchen appliances and good natural light from large glazed doors. The building benefits from multiple lifts and well-lit communal hallways, making access straightforward for everyday living or rental management.
Important considerations: the flat is small (approximately 330 sqft) and uses electric room heaters rather than central gas heating. The property sits in an area classified as student communal living with higher area deprivation and a high flood risk — these factors may affect insurance and resale. As a leasehold, additional fees (service charges, lease packs) may apply; buyers should verify lease details and costs.
Overall this is a practical first purchase or buy-to-let opportunity for someone seeking a low-stress, chain-free acquisition close to local amenities and transport links. The compact footprint suits a single occupant or investor aiming for steady rental demand in a student-focused area.
