Summary - Flat E, 97 Beach Road FY5 1EW
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Affordable coastal apartment with parking and ready to occupy.
Sea views from first-floor bay window
Long lease (109 years) and low ground rent (£25)
Two double bedrooms plus en-suite shower room
Off-street parking included
High flood risk for the area
Located in very deprived area with high local crime
Cavity walls likely uninsulated; glazing pre-2002
Council tax band A (very low running cost)
A first-floor, two-bedroom flat offering straightforward sea views and immediate availability with no onward chain. The layout is practical: a large lounge/dining room with a walk-in bay, a fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms including an en-suite to the master. At 839 sq ft the flat feels roomier than many apartments and includes off-street parking.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and presents as generally well maintained internally, with double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The long lease (109 years) and low ground rent are practical ownership points, and council tax is very low which helps running costs.
Important considerations: the property is in an area classified as very deprived with high local crime and a high risk of flooding. The external walls are cavity construction likely without added insulation, and the glazing predates 2002, so energy performance and future maintenance should be allowed for. Tenure is leasehold.
This flat will suit a buyer seeking an affordable seaside property to occupy or let, willing to accept higher area risks and to budget for potential energy and flood mitigation measures. Its size, sea aspect and no-chain status make it a straightforward purchase for those prepared for the local challenges.
