This well-presented two-bedroom upper-floor apartment in Dovedale Court offers a straightforward entry into homeownership or a rental investment in Seaham. The open-plan living area and modern kitchen give a roomy feel across the apartment’s approximately 720 sq ft, while two double bedrooms suit sharers or a small family. Double glazing and a secure intercom add practical comfort.

The property is close to local shops, schools with Good Ofsted ratings, public transport links and is a short drive from Seaham beach and Dalton Park — convenient for commuting and leisure.
Buyers should be aware of significant recurring costs: an annual ground rent figure listed at £124,549 (extreme) and an annual service charge of around £1,000. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating, and the area sits in a deprived local classification. These factors affect running costs and resale/rental considerations.
Overall, this apartment will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable purchase price with immediate occupation potential, or investors who budget carefully for unusually high ground rent and ongoing service charges. Early inspection will show the apartment’s layout, light and location benefits alongside its financial obligations.
