Set on Southport’s promenade within a striking Grade II listed red‑brick mansion, this ground‑floor apartment offers generous, well‑laid-out accommodation and direct access to a private garden. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space stretches nearly 36 feet, creating flexible family living and easy indoor‑outdoor flow to the paved patio and lawn. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite and the property was reconfigured from two bedrooms to three to suit modern family needs. An allocated underground garage space and a brick-built external store add practical value.
The building’s period character—high ceilings, large sash windows and ornate Gothic detailing—gives the apartment real kerb appeal and a sense of permanence. The long remaining lease (971 years from the 1997 term) and zero ground rent are positive ownership factors. Presentation is described as good, so minimal immediate works appear necessary for occupation and enjoyment.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which can restrict alterations and may complicate approvals for changes. The service charge is currently £5,066.88 per annum and council tax is described as expensive; these running costs should be factored into budgeting. The wider area statistics show higher crime levels and local deprivation indices that may affect resale or lettability in some market segments.
Overall this apartment will suit families or professional couples seeking generous open-plan living by the sea, with private outdoor space and secure parking. It also has appeal for investors focused on high‑quality period stock — provided prospective buyers accept the listed‑building constraints and ongoing communal costs.
