Summary - Ground Floor Flat, 42 Walpole Road BN2 0AB
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
One-bedroom ground-floor home with easy purchase and upgrade potential.
South-facing private garden with distant sea views
Set on the ground floor of an Edwardian terrace, this one-bedroom apartment combines period character with practical city living. The accommodation includes a double bedroom, separate living room, a sizable kitchen-diner and a bathroom, arranged across approximately 518 sq ft. A real highlight is the private south-facing garden and distant sea views — rare for a ground-floor flat in this area.
The home is sold with a share of the freehold and with no onward chain, offering a straightforward purchase route. Heating is by a gas boiler and radiators; the kitchen is modern with good natural light. The property sits in a lively neighbourhood popular with students and professionals, close to transport links, shops and local amenities.
There are some maintenance and improvement considerations to be aware of. The building is interwar construction with cavity walls assumed to lack insulation and an EPC currently rated D (59) with scope to reach C (71). External roof work and general updating may be required, presenting both cost and opportunity for value uplift.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a period property with private outdoor space and refurbishment potential. The location offers convenience and strong rental demand, but buyers should factor in refurbishment costs and the local area’s high recorded crime level when deciding.
