This second-floor, one-bedroom apartment occupies the top floor of a period building and offers elevated partial sea views from a generous bay-fronted living room. The open-plan living and fitted kitchen creates a bright, sociable space ideal for single buyers or couples seeking an affordable seafront base. The flat is chain free and sold with a share of freehold and a long lease (125 years remaining).
The interior is neutrally finished with high ceilings and period details such as deep skirtings and a bay window that floods the principal room with light. Practical features include a large entrance hallway, a double bedroom and a bathroom; the compact footprint (approximately 637 sq ft) suits first-time buyers or rental investors wanting a low-maintenance property close to amenities.
Buyers should note there is no private outdoor space or allocated parking, access is via shared stairs, and the service charge is paid on an as-and-when basis which can result in irregular costs. The surrounding area is described as deprived with average crime rates, though transport links are strong (fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a mainline station nearby). Council tax sits in Band A, helping to keep running costs low.
Overall this flat is a practical, affordable entry-level home or buy-to-let with genuine seafront appeal and scope for light cosmetic updating. Its long lease, share of freehold and no onward chain make it straightforward to purchase, but buyers should budget for potential communal maintenance and the lack of parking or garden.
