Spacious one-bedroom ground-floor flat with high ceilings and bay window
Private front garden and small paved rear yard
Long lease: approximately 962 years remaining
Gas central heating and double glazing installed
EPC rating D — energy efficiency improvements likely needed
Solid brick construction; no assumed wall insulation
Council Tax Band A — very low running council costs
Area records above-average crime and local deprivation
A deceptively spacious one-bedroom ground-floor flat tucked at the end of Grey Street/Washington Terrace. Period proportions give high ceilings, a large bay-windowed lounge and original features, while the open dining kitchen provides practical living space for a first home or a compact household. The flat benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a private garden plus a paved rear yard.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (circa 962 years remaining), low council tax (Band A) and good local broadband and mobile signals. The location is urban and convenient — close to local shops, transport links and the seafront — making day-to-day life straightforward for commuters and new owners.
Buyers should note measurable downsides: the EPC rating is D and the building is brick-built with assumed solid walls and no added insulation, so energy upgrades may be needed to reduce running costs. The wider area records higher-than-average crime and local socio-economic indicators show deprivation; purchasers should consider these factors when assessing resale or rental potential.
Overall this is a practical, characterful starter or downsizing property with clear potential for modest improvement. It suits someone who values period charm, private outdoor space and a lengthy lease, and who is comfortable addressing energy-efficiency upgrades over time.
