Presented chain-free, this freshly decorated two-bedroom first-floor flat is ready to move into. The open-plan living room and kitchen are bright and airy, with large windows and a tasteful modern finish throughout. The principal bedroom offers a pleasant sea glimpse, adding local character to the accommodation.
Practical features include residents’ off-street parking, an exceptionally long lease (983 years) and low ground rent. The property has recently been renovated and is in good condition, making it suitable for a first-time buyer seeking a straightforward purchase or an investor looking for a city-centre rental close to the seafront.
Buyers should note the local context: the surrounding area has high crime statistics and is classified as very deprived, with a transitional Eastern European neighbourhood and constrained renter profile. Service charge and ground rent apply (£1,100 and £25 per year respectively), and the flat is leasehold.
Overall this is a compact, well-presented apartment that prioritises convenience — great transport links, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — but buyers should weigh the neighbourhood profile and management costs against the property’s strong condition and long lease.
