This newly redecorated ground-floor apartment in Norfolk House offers straightforward, low-maintenance living just a short walk from St Leonards’ shops and mainline station. The one-bedroom layout is fresh throughout, with new carpets, UPVC double glazing and two handy storage cupboards—a practical starter home or buy-to-let with immediate rental appeal.
The flat includes off-street parking and access to a communal garden, helpful in a central location. Services are simple: electric storage heaters and electric cooking, so running costs are predictable but may be higher than gas-heated homes. The property is sold chain-free on a long lease (circa 112 years).
Buyers should note a few clear considerations: the EPC is rated D, the building has an average service charge and a small ground rent, and the area records high crime and significant deprivation indicators. The block dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s with system-built walls and partial insulation assumed, which may limit energy performance without further works.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented flat that suits first-time buyers seeking central, low-maintenance accommodation or investors needing an entry-level buy-to-let. Factor in service charge, electric heating, and neighbourhood statistics when assessing long-term running costs and rental expectations.
