Spacious period apartment near station and beach ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain-free two-bedroom apartment with long 959-year lease
This chain-free two-bedroom apartment sits on Magdalen Road, a short walk from Warrior Square station and the seafront — ideal for first-time buyers who value transport links and coastal access. Set within a Victorian mid-terrace, the home blends period features such as a bay-windowed principal bedroom, high ceilings and a fireplace with a modern open-plan kitchen/living area and hardwood floors.
At about 732 sq ft, the layout feels generous: a large double with built-in storage, a second bedroom suitable as an office or child’s room, a separate utility area and a family bathroom with both bath and shower. Rear aspect sea views are a pleasant bonus. The property benefits from double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating and a very long lease (959 years) with a share of the freehold.
Practical running costs are reasonable: a below-average service charge of about £900 pa, low ground rent (£25) and a very cheap council tax band. That makes the apartment attractive for buyers wanting lower ongoing costs or landlords seeking a straightforward let in a well-connected seaside location.
Notable drawbacks are factual and should be considered: the building is solid-brick with assumed no cavity insulation, and the wider neighbourhood records higher crime and very high deprivation indices. Broadband speeds are only average. Prospective buyers should arrange their own inspections and surveys, including checks on glazing age, insulation and any required maintenance works before committing.
