A character-rich ground-floor apartment set within a Grade II listed Victorian villa, offering period detail and comfortable living space for a downsizer or couple. The living room is impressively proportioned with high ceilings, sash bay window and decorative cornicing; one bedroom includes a distinctive turret. The modern kitchen and integrated appliances bring practical day-to-day convenience while the property benefits from an off-street parking space and access to mature communal grounds.
Important practical facts are straightforward: this is a leasehold flat with approximately 970 years remaining and a service charge of about £3,804 per year. The listed status preserves original features but will restrict external and certain internal alterations. The building’s stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated and some areas may need updating to modern standards despite the fitted kitchen and secondary glazing.
Location is a clear strength — within walking distance of St Leonards Gardens, local shops, mainline station and the beach — making short trips and rail links to London easy. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent. Council tax is very low (Band A), which helps running costs.
This apartment suits a buyer who values period character and a quiet, well-situated address over a totally modern finish. Expect to trade some modernisation flexibility (because of listed status) for a rare, historic ground-floor flat with long lease security and convenient parking.
