Ground-floor flat with private entrance
This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers an accessible seaside base within a short walk of the town centre, sea front and train station. The property feels light and spacious, with a modern kitchen, a generous lounge/diner, a four-piece bathroom and a useful study. A private entrance, driveway parking for one car and a small south-east courtyard give outside space that is rare for flats in the area.
The lower-ground area is split into three rooms and currently provides excellent storage or scope to convert (subject to consents). The long 999-year lease and modest management charge (circa £65 pcm) make the ownership costs straightforward for a first-time buyer or someone seeking a lock-up-and-leave holiday home.
Buyers should note a few practical issues: the building’s stone walls are likely uninsulated, the double glazing dates from before 2002, and the basement conversion would require planning/works. The neighbourhood records above-average crime and the wider area has pockets of high deprivation, which prospective purchasers should weigh against the location benefits.
Overall, this property is well suited to a first-time buyer or small household wanting roomy accommodation near the seafront, with clear potential to personalise or upgrade the lower-ground space and thermal performance over time.
