This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment on Granville Parade sits directly on Sandgate beach and delivers uninterrupted sea views from both bedrooms and the office. Offered chain free with a share of the freehold and an exceptionally long lease (289 years), the property is well placed for use as a permanent residence, a coastal retreat or a short-term holiday let.
Inside, a large living room provides generous living space while the compact kitchen and single bathroom reflect the apartment’s traditional layout. Practical features include two WCs, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and recently fitted double-glazed windows to the front. The building’s period character and expansive windows maximise the coastal outlook.
There are some material considerations: the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, so heating bills and comfort could be affected without retrofit. The layout includes one full bathroom only, and the kitchen is modest in size compared with the overall floor area. Communal maintenance is carried out on an as-needed basis with no regular service charge, which can mean irregular costs when work is required.
For investors and buyers seeking seaside lifestyle, the apartment’s location, long lease, chain-free status and holiday-let eligibility are strong positives. Buyers wanting a fully modern, energy-efficient home should be prepared for potential improvement works, particularly wall insulation and kitchen/bathroom upgrades.
