South-facing private balcony with direct sea views
Two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes
Spacious 18ft living/dining room with period features

EPC rating D — potential higher heating costs
Very high local crime and very deprived area — consider safety and resale
A rare first-floor, two-bedroom period apartment with a sunny south-facing balcony and direct sea views. The flat sits in a converted Victorian building and offers a generous 18ft living/dining room, modern fitted kitchen and a recently updated family bathroom — ready to move into for first-time buyers seeking seaside living.
Practical benefits include double-glazed windows (installed after 2002), mains gas boiler and radiators, and sale with a share of freehold. At around 702 sq ft the layout is comfortable for a couple or small family, with built-in wardrobes in both double bedrooms and immediate access to local shops, cafés and the beach within minutes.
Buyers should be aware of clear drawbacks: the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (assumed) which, combined with an EPC rating of D, may mean higher heating costs and upgrade works to improve efficiency. The neighbourhood records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived — factors to consider for safety, insurance and resale. On-street parking is available but requires an annual permit (£100).
This apartment is best suited to purchasers prioritising location and character — those wanting a ready-to-live-in period home by the sea with scope for energy upgrades. It represents a straightforward entry to coastal ownership, but buyers should factor in possible retrofit costs and local area challenges when deciding to view.
