Summary - Flat 6, 13, Knowsley Road, SOUTHPORT PR9 0HN
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Two-bedroom Victorian conversion by the Promenade — chain free with long lease and renovation potential.
Chain free ground-floor apartment adjacent to Promenade and Marine Lake
Set on the Promenade adjacent to Marine Lake, this ground-floor Victorian conversion offers direct seaside character and a spacious front reception with bay windows and good natural light. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a separate kitchen and a bathroom — compact but functional for city living by the sea.
The flat is offered chain-free and benefits from a very long lease (approx. 960 years), low ground rent (£35 pa) and a below-average service charge (£420 pa) which covers communal maintenance and gardening. Council Tax is in Band A, keeping running costs low. Communal parking to the front and an established rear garden provide outside space uncommon for town-centre flats.
The property requires general modernisation throughout; cosmetic and system upgrades will be needed to bring it up to modern standards. The building retains period features (high ceilings, decorative mouldings) that will reward a sympathetic refurbishment. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working.
Be candid about local context: the area records higher crime and sits within a very deprived local authority area, which may affect resale expectations and insurance costs. For buyers seeking a seaside starter home, a rental investment or a renovation project with low holding costs and a long lease, this apartment presents clear potential but needs work and local-market caution.
