Area records very high crime rates — important for buyers to note
This ground-floor maisonette offers a straightforward, well-located home for a first-time buyer seeking coastal city life. The property benefits from its own private front entrance and an unusually long lease with shared freehold, giving ownership security unusual for flats in the area.
Interior space includes two double bedrooms, an open-plan reception and dining area, and a practical kitchen and bathroom. A south-facing terrace provides a sunny outdoor spot — a rare private amenity close to the seafront. At about 887 sq ft the accommodation is average-sized for a Victorian terrace layout and suits everyday living or rental use.
The flat is best described as a value purchase with scope to modernise. Cosmetic refurbishment and updating would allow a buyer to personalise the space and add value. Externally the period façade is fair but would benefit from decorative maintenance.
Buyers should note material negatives: the terrace is small and there appears to be no private rear garden, and the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime rates. These factors, combined with the need for light refurbishment, are reflected in the price and present both a downside and an opportunity for someone prepared to invest time or money.
