Chain-free one-bedroom flat, approximately 316 sq ft
Residents off-street parking included
Close to shops, transport links and local beaches

Building 1930–1949; cavity walls assumed uninsulated
High local crime and very deprived area — affects demand
A compact one-bedroom flat in an Edwardian block positioned within walking distance of shops, transport links and nearby beaches. Offered chain-free, the property suits buyers seeking a low-entry purchase for refurbishment or rental to the local student and commuter population.
The accommodation totals approximately 316 sq ft and includes a small traditional kitchen with integrated appliances and an enclosed layout; the interior is generally dated and will benefit from modernization. Heating is by electric room heaters and the building has double glazing installed before 2002.
Practical positives include residents’ off-street parking and excellent mobile and fast broadband speeds — helpful for rental appeal. The building dates from 1930–1949 and has cavity walls without added insulation (assumed), so consider potential energy-improvement costs when budgeting.
Important negatives are the location’s high crime statistics and the surrounding area’s very deprived classification; these factors will influence resale and tenant demand. Buyers should also note the small overall size and that some upgrading is required to maximise value and rental income.
