Set on the ground floor of an Edwardian building, this two-bedroom flat offers a compact seaside lifestyle a short walk from the Chine and sandy beaches. The living room opens through double doors onto a private paved courtyard, creating an easy indoor–outdoor flow for entertaining or relaxing. The kitchen is well fitted with integrated appliances and the home includes a bathroom plus a separate W.C. for practical family use.
Practical benefits include two tandem off-street parking spaces, gas central heating and a long lease held as a share of freehold. Broadband and mobile signals are reported strong, and local amenities in Westbourne are within easy walking distance. Council Tax is in a low band and nearby schools include several well-regarded options.
Be upfront about the constraints: the flat is an average-sized two-bedroom with modest internal and outdoor space, so it suits first-time buyers, small families or those seeking a low-maintenance pied-à-terre rather than a large family home. The service charge is £1,694 per year (including a reserve fund contribution). Holiday lets are not permitted under the current arrangements, and pets require prior permission.
A few technical points to note: the property dates from the early 20th century with cavity walls assumed uninsulated, and double glazing was installed before 2002. These factors could mean further insulation or upgrade work is desirable for long-term energy savings. Overall this is a well-located, practical flat that prioritises location, parking and low-maintenance living.
