A freshly renovated one-bedroom ground-floor flat offering an open-plan living space and allocated off-street parking. The interior feels contemporary throughout, with a modern kitchen island, wood panelling, integrated appliances and a practical three-piece shower room. At about 517 sq ft it suits a first-time buyer, buy-to-let investor or someone downsizing who wants a low-maintenance home close to the seafront.
Location is a real selling point: the seafront is within easy walking distance and the nearby train station provides regular links into London. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and a range of shops, cafes and amenities are close by. The longer lease (about 160 years) and modest ground rent reduce medium-term ownership risks.
Buyers should note important area and ownership facts. The neighbourhood has a high crime rate and is classified as very deprived; purchasers should consider local conditions and personal safety measures. The property is leasehold with an average service charge of around £1,100 per year and a small ground rent of £50. The building’s original solid-brick walls likely have no cavity insulation, which could affect heating efficiency and future upgrade costs.
Overall, this apartment offers a move-in-ready, modern living space with coastal access and commuter convenience. It represents good value for those prioritising location and a ready-made home, but buyers sensitive to area deprivation or seeking a rural feel should view with care.
