This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment occupies a waterside position with direct views over the sail lofts and estuary — a compact home that makes the most of its natural outlook. The open-plan lounge/diner and well-proportioned main bedroom offer comfortable living for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking an attractive marina location.
Practical features include a covered car port with additional space for a shed, visitor parking, communal gardens and thermostat-controlled storage heaters. The lease has around 133 years remaining and service charges are approximately £130 per month; council tax is very low (Band A), helping running costs stay modest.
Note the property’s small overall footprint and that access is via communal stairs (no lift), which may affect mobility or furniture moves. Broadband speeds are slow locally and the location sits within a high flood-risk zone — both relevant for owner-occupiers and tenants. Despite these constraints, the flat’s waterside aspect, long lease and off-street parking create genuine appeal in a very affluent, low-crime village setting.
Ideal for buyers prioritising location and manageable running costs, this apartment offers a straightforward move-in option with some scope for minor updating. Investors should factor in the flood risk and broadband limitations when assessing rental demand and insurance costs.
