This one-bedroom top-floor flat in central Cromer offers direct access to beach, promenade and town amenities — a compact seaside base with genuine entry‑level appeal. The sitting room opens to sea views and natural light, while the building’s Victorian character gives good period charm. The property is small (approximately 359 sq ft) and best suited to one person, a couple, or a second home use rather than full-time family living.
Practical considerations: there is no central heating system (electric wall heaters assumed), solid brick walls likely without insulation, and an EPC rating of E. The flat is on the third floor with stair access only. Service charge (£843.75pa) and ground rent (£122.85pa) are modest, and the long lease (164 years remaining) provides security. Note the sale is by online livestream auction and completion will incur an administration fee (£1,200 inc. VAT) and buyer’s premium (£600 inc. VAT).
Restrictions in the lease prohibit holiday lets, pets and laminate flooring, limiting short‑let investment potential. The local area shows higher-than-average crime and significant deprivation — important for buyers to consider when weighing resale or rental prospects. Council Tax Band A is very low, which helps running costs.
For a buyer prepared to accept a small top-floor apartment and to carry light updating (insulation, heating improvements, cosmetic works), this is an affordable way into Cromer’s seaside market with long leasehold security and clear proximity advantages.
