Set on the first floor of Shirley Towers, this spacious three-bedroom apartment delivers expansive harbour and marina views from a large sun terrace. The property’s generous footprint (about 1,384 sq ft) and two bathrooms suit families or couples who want substantial living space in a coastal town setting. It is offered chain free for straightforward completion.
The building has attractive Georgian-inspired styling and planted communal gardens. Inside, well-proportioned principal rooms benefit from abundant natural light and high ceilings in parts, while mains gas boiler and radiators provide conventional heating. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working-from-home needs.
Buyers should be aware of material considerations: the home is leasehold and council tax is described as expensive. The local area records higher crime and significant deprivation, which may affect feel and resale in parts. The building dates from the 1967–1975 period; cavity walls appear to lack added insulation and the glazing install date is unknown. There are also reported potential damp concerns associated with waterfront locations — survey recommended.
Overall this apartment will suit purchasers seeking roomy, sea-facing accommodation with immediate availability, who are prepared to accept the realities of leasehold ownership and budget for any necessary insulation, damp investigation or modernisation works.
