This spacious two-bedroom apartment sits in a handsome Victorian building on The Leas, offering wide sea views from south, east and west aspects. With high ceilings, large rooms and about 1,018 sq ft of accommodation, the apartment feels generous and bright — ideal for someone looking to downsize without losing space.
Practical features include a long lease (share of freehold with c.981 years remaining), lift access, a utility room and private off-street parking. The sizeable lounge/diner and two double bedrooms suit comfortable coastal living, and an EPC C rating keeps running costs reasonable.
Be aware of the higher-than-average service charge (£4,850.58 pa) and relatively slow broadband speeds in the area. The property is in an area with pockets of deprivation; local amenities, bus links and good schools are close by. Council tax band D and a small ground rent (£65 pa) apply.
Overall this is a characterful, well-positioned flat for buyers seeking roomy seaside living with period features, secure parking and long-term tenure security. It will particularly suit downsizers or retirees who prioritise space, views and convenience over ultra-fast connectivity.
