Set on the ground floor of a stone Victorian building, this two-bedroom apartment delivers striking sea views and the convenience of allocated off-street parking. Bright lounge/diner opens via double doors to well-kept communal gardens and frames the coastline — a rare coastal outlook for an entry-level flat. The kitchen and bathroom are modern in style and the apartment is presented for immediate occupation with neutral finishes and wood-effect flooring.
Practical details suit first-time buyers and investors: a very long lease (circa 960 years) and a below-average annual service charge of about £300, which includes buildings insurance. Letting on an assured shorthold tenancy basis is permitted, though the block currently has a no-pets rule. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add everyday convenience; council tax is described as very cheap.
Be straightforward about the context: the property sits within an area recorded as having high deprivation and a “challenged” local classification, which may affect resale appeal for some buyers. The apartment’s overall size is modest at approximately 451 sq ft, so storage and space are limited compared with larger homes. Buyers should verify lease details, tenancy permissions and all measurements with their solicitor.
If you want a compact, chain-free coastal flat with definite lifestyle appeal — sea views, outside space and parking — this is a practical, affordable option. It’s particularly well suited to someone seeking a seaside first home or an investor wanting a low-cost entry into the Portland market, with straightforward maintenance obligations and long lease security.
