Long-lease coastal flat with parking, low charges — compact and convenient for retirement buyers.
Two-bedroom first-floor flat with off-street parking included
This two-bedroom first-floor flat in the heart of Freshwater Village is a practical choice for buyers seeking coastal convenience and low running costs. The apartment offers an open lounge/diner, a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room, built-in storage and off-street parking accessed from Tennyson Road. A gas combi boiler supplies heating and hot water, and double glazing was installed post-2002.
The property sits in a small three-flat cluster close to local shops, buses and popular seafronts such as Colwell Bay and Freshwater Bay — useful for daily errands and short coastal trips. The long lease (around 204 years remaining from the original term) and very modest annual charges (£150 service charge, £25 ground rent) make ownership straightforward and predictable.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the building dates from before 1900 and has cavity walls without added insulation (assumed), the EPC is D, and the wider area scores as deprived with a high local crime level. The flat is compact (about 506 sq ft) so it suits downsizers, retirement buyers or those wanting a low-maintenance holiday base rather than people needing large living spaces.
Overall, this flat is a low-cost, low-hassle option for someone prioritising location, parking and a long lease close to the coast. It will suit purchasers prepared to accept modest space and to consider insulation or comfort upgrades if desired.
