This bright first-floor flat offers classic Victorian character with bay windows, high ceilings and direct sea views — a rare find a short walk from the beach. The living room is spacious and naturally lit, while two practical bedrooms and a compact kitchen make the layout efficient for day-to-day living. The property comes chain-free and is offered with a long lease (125 years), making it straightforward for buyers seeking a ready move.
Practical costs are clear but should be checked: the seller advises a service charge of £1,400 per year and a ground rent of £50; another part of the listing also notes a lower service charge figure of £300. Council Tax Band B is shown at £1,987 pa. The building is well maintained overall, but the solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation — energy improvements may be needed to reduce running costs.
Location is the key strength: a 10-minute walk to the seafront, close to Warrior Square station with direct links to London, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The neighbourhood includes good primary schools and local amenities, though the wider area is recorded as very deprived; buyers should factor local market conditions into plans. This apartment suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a coastal rental, with potential to add value through targeted improvements.
