Set within the restored South Beach Mansion on Bent Hill, this three-storey, two-bedroom apartment combines Victorian character with contemporary fittings. Both bedrooms enjoy sea views and walk-in wardrobes; the principal suite includes an ensuite with underfloor heating. Expansive living space opens onto a large balcony and a 19' roof terrace; a second roof-top garden from the study provides panoramic coastal vistas.
The conversion completed in 2021 retains period features such as stained glass and a dramatic communal staircase while providing modern comforts: integrated Bosch kitchen appliances, underfloor heating in bathrooms, double glazing and a video entryphone system. Allocated gated off-street parking and landscaped communal grounds on approximately one-third of an acre add privacy and convenience.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is leasehold with a long remaining term and a share of freehold, annual service charge around £2,300, and council tax at Band F. Broadband speeds are reported slow in the area and local crime statistics are above average — relevant factors for working-from-home buyers or those prioritising security.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a prominent seaside residence with generous internal and external space: ideal for downsizers wanting easy town-centre access, buyers after a second/holiday home, or anyone who values characterful accommodation with standout sea views. The apartment needs little cosmetic work but buyers should allow for ongoing communal maintenance costs and the local connectivity limitations.
