Set on the first floor of a well‑maintained modern block, this one‑bedroom apartment suits buyers seeking a low‑maintenance home close to Blackpool town centre. The open lounge with a Juliette balcony and a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances give the flat a contemporary, move‑in ready feel. Allocated and visitor parking at the rear adds practical convenience.
Running costs and tenure are straightforward: an electric heating system with storage heaters powers the property, and the lease has about 105 years remaining. Annual service charge is approximately £1,485.84 and ground rent is £76 per year — important ongoing costs to factor in alongside council tax, which is very low.
The apartment is compact (around 540 sq ft) and well suited to a downsizer or single person who wants city amenities and easy access to shops, healthcare and transport. Note that broadband speeds are slow and heating is electric only, which could mean higher energy bills compared with gas‑heated homes. The immediate area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long‑term appreciation for some buyers.
Overall this is a tidy, modern flat offering practical parking and central location benefits, but buyers should budget for service charges, electric heating costs and limited broadband performance.
