Compact one-bed with sea views — renovation project with excellent location.
Top-floor flat with strong sea and town views
Set on the top floor of a traditional stone-built Victorian block, this compact one-bedroom flat offers expansive views over Millport and out to the sea. The bright living/kitchen/dining room and bay-fronted bedroom make the most of the elevated position, giving a roomy feel despite the modest footprint.
The property is offered as a renovation project with clear potential: the kitchen and bathroom are dated and require modernization, carpets and fittings are older, and overall cosmetic and mechanical updating would significantly increase value and comfort. The building benefits from high ceilings and period character that will reward a sympathetic upgrade.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, very low council tax (Band A), a well-maintained communal garden and drying green, and a location under five minutes from the seafront, shops and cafes. Average mobile and broadband speeds suit beach-house or part-time holiday use and it’s an easy ferry ride to the mainland.
Honest drawbacks: the flat needs renovation throughout, has an EPC of Band E, and sits within an area classed as very deprived — factors that may affect resale speed and some local services. This is best for a buyer seeking a low-cost entry to island living, a holiday-let conversion, or someone ready to refurbish to personalise the space.
