Set on the ground floor of an attractive Georgian Revival building, this unusually large two-bedroom apartment offers roomy, adaptable living with high ceilings and period character. The property includes private and communal garden use, dedicated off-street parking and a generous living room with bay windows that capture plenty of natural light. A long lease and a share of the freehold provide notable ownership security for purchasers.
Accommodation suits someone looking to downsize without losing space: two double bedrooms, a separate utility room, shower room plus a separate WC and a practical kitchen. The layout and overall size (about 1,257 sq ft) create scope to reconfigure or modernise to personal taste. The setting in the West End keeps The Leas promenade, local shops and reliable transport links within easy reach.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the service charge is approximately £2,100 per year and the EPC rating is currently to be confirmed. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow, and the wider area is indicated as relatively deprived — factors to consider for those who work from home or prioritise digital connectivity. Flood risk is low and council tax is band C.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful flat that will particularly appeal to downsizers or those seeking a roomy retirement-ready home close to the seafront. The long lease and share of freehold are strong ownership advantages, while modest investment may be needed to update finishes and improve connectivity.
