Summary - 8C ALBANY ROAD SOUTHPORT PR9 0JE
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Spacious two-bedroom home by the promenade with parking and a very long lease.
Two double bedrooms with high ceilings and bay-front living room
Set within a converted Victorian residence a short walk from Southport’s promenade, this well-presented two double bedroom lower-ground flat combines period detail with modern convenience. High ceilings and a bay-fronted living room create an airy principal space, while the fitted kitchen/dining room and contemporary shower room provide comfortable everyday living. The long lease (over 900 years) and low ground rent are practical ownership advantages.
The development sits in well-kept communal gardens and includes an allocated parking space in the residents’ car park — a useful amenity close to the town centre. Gas central heating and double glazing are already in place, reducing immediate maintenance spend. Council Tax sits in Band A, keeping running costs modest.
Buyers should note the flat occupies the lower-ground level; natural light is good in the bay-front rooms but some internal rooms will be at a lower grade than true street level. The neighbourhood shows high crime statistics and the wider area is flagged as very deprived, which may affect resale prospects and insurance costs. The service charge is approximately £1,320 per year and there is a small ground rent of £10 annually.
This property will suit first-time buyers or downsizers seeking spacious rooms, period character and a low-cost long lease near Southport’s amenities. It also offers straightforward cosmetic scope for anyone wanting to personalise finishes; major structural upgrades are not indicated.
