This compact one-bedroom first-floor flat sits a few yards from Hayling Island’s seafront, delivering practical coastal living for someone looking to downsize without sacrificing convenience. The lounge/diner and bedroom offer sea glimpses, and the property benefits from off-street parking and both private and communal garden space.
The flat is well presented and comes with recent mechanical and thermal upgrades: a new gas boiler fitted in 2023 and double glazing replaced in September 2024. The accommodation includes a lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, bay-fronted double bedroom, family bathroom and exclusive use of a large loft — useful for storage or conversion subject to permissions.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with c.151 years remaining and an annual service charge of £995. The overall floor area is small (approximately 405 sq ft), so it suits a single occupant or couple rather than a family. The building dates from the 1930s and, while generally presented, will suit someone comfortable with older construction character rather than a new-build finish.
Position and local services are strong selling points for a downsizer: immediate access to the seafront, nearby shops and good mobile and broadband connectivity. Flood risk is low and heating is mains gas via radiators. Buyers should note the leasehold tenure and check any communal maintenance arrangements and loft-use permissions before committing.
