Chain free sale; council tax Band A — running costs are low

Ground-floor living with generous room sizes and a long lease makes this one-bedroom flat an appealing option for someone seeking a low‑maintenance seaside base. The apartment includes two bathrooms, useful built-in bedroom storage and a sizeable basement level that could serve as a home office or occasional guest room (basement has restricted head height). The front stone-chipped garden is pleasant and there is on-street parking directly outside.
The location is a major strength: Bare, Morecambe places the bay and promenade within easy walking distance, with local shops, cafés and transport links nearby. Bare Train Station and local bus routes provide connections to Lancaster and the wider network, while the M6 is a short drive for longer trips. The area is classified as very affluent with low crime and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity.
Buyers should be clear about a few practical points. The property is leasehold (balance of a 999‑year lease from 1972) with a peppercorn ground rent and is being offered chain free. The building dates from the mid 20th century and walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction; the glazing is double glazed but install date is unknown. The flat will benefit from modernization in places and the basement has limited headroom, which may restrict some uses.
A material consideration is that the property sits in a high flooding risk area. Prospective buyers should seek updated flood-risk and insurance information and factor potential resilience or mitigation costs into any offer. Council Tax band A and a long lease help keep running costs modest, making this a sensible purchase for a retiree or downsizer seeking a roomy, well‑connected flat close to the coast.
