A bright, practical two-bedroom third-floor flat in Orkney Place offering straightforward city living with part sea views. The layout includes a spacious lounge, breakfasting kitchen, two double bedrooms with built-in storage and a family bathroom — a compact, easy-to-run home for a first purchase or a low-effort investment.
The property is offered at £58,000 against a Home Report value of £62,000, presenting potential immediate value for buyers. It benefits from freehold tenure, a secured entry system and fast broadband and mobile signal — useful for remote working or tenants. On-street parking is available outside.
Buyers should note the building’s 1960s construction and the apartment’s EPC rating of E, indicating energy improvements may be needed to reduce bills. The flat is on the third floor and accessed by stairs only; there is no lift. The local area is described as very deprived, which affects long-term resale dynamics and tenant profiles for landlords.
Overall this is a pragmatic, budget-friendly home or buy-to-let that rewards modest investment and cosmetic updating. Viewing will best convey the internal light, layout and the part sea outlook from the lounge.
