This first-floor two-bedroom flat combines period character with contemporary presentation, positioned within easy walking distance of the seafront and mainline rail links. The light-filled lounge with a feature fireplace and the private rear garden with side access give a rare mix of indoor comfort and outdoor space for a property of this type.
The flat is move-in ready in many respects: a modern kitchen, contemporary bathroom plus separate WC, and double glazing (install date unknown). Practicalities are straightforward for buyers on a budget — a long lease, modest service charge (£190) and low council tax help keep ongoing costs down.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the building is a 1930–1949 solid brick terrace and likely has no wall insulation, so heating efficiency may be lower than modern builds. Crime levels are above average in the area and the wider neighbourhood shows indicators of deprivation. The property is leasehold (ground rent £70) — check lease length and terms before exchange.
Ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking a well-located home with scope to personalise, this flat offers genuine seaside convenience and investment potential while requiring attention to energy-efficiency and lease details.
