Off-street parking and small communal forecourt garden
Chain free with very long lease remaining (leasehold)
Service charge circa £2,100 pa — factor into costs

Interior dated in places; needs modernisation (popcorn ceiling, carpets)

Set just steps from Grenham Bay, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment offers straightforward seaside living with immediate access to promenade walks, local shops and the train station. The open-plan lounge/diner brings natural light into the heart of the home, and two double bedrooms make the layout practical for a couple, small family or holiday let. Off-street parking and a small communal forecourt garden add everyday convenience.
The block is mid- to late-20th century and externally appears well maintained, while the interior reflects a previous holiday-use and will suit buyers happy to modernise. Key practical points include electric storage heating and double glazing (install date unknown), so expect ongoing running costs to be higher than a gas-heated property. Broadband speeds are slow locally — relevant if you work from home.
This is a leasehold property offered chain free with an unusually long lease remaining. Annual service charge is around £2,100; factor this into affordability and investment calculations. For downsizers or retirement buyers seeking a low‑maintenance base close to the sea, or investors looking for a straightforward buy‑to‑let in high-demand seaside locations, the flat presents immediate rental or occupancy potential once updated.
