Tucked behind a charming footbridge in the heart of Arnside, this newly renovated first-floor home blends period detail with contemporary fittings. High ceilings, original cornicing and a bespoke kitchen with an Everhot range give character, while bi-fold doors and large windows flood the living space with light and estuary views. The layout includes two bedrooms, a luxurious bathroom with a clawfoot bath, and useful loft storage — suited to couples or retirees seeking a comfortable, low-fuss base near the sea.
Outside offers practical, low-maintenance outdoor space: a private courtyard with artificial lawn and stone pebbles, allocated off-street parking plus a shared visitor space, and access to well-kept communal gardens that front the Kent Estuary. The apartment is a short two-minute walk from the promenade, shops, cafés and the train station, making everyday errands and walks effortless.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 972 years remaining and an annual service charge of approximately £2,550 (covers building insurance and communal garden maintenance). The home is sold as a single dwelling only — holiday letting is not permitted. Walls date from before 1900 and are assumed to lack modern insulation, which may affect long-term energy efficiency despite double glazing and mains gas central heating.
Overall this apartment suits downsizers or those seeking a second coastal home who value character, a turnkey interior and proximity to amenities. Buyers wanting rental income or a holiday-let investment should note the occupancy restriction and service charge when assessing suitability.
