This third-floor, one-bedroom seafront apartment offers direct sea views, a south-westerly balcony and a communal roof terrace — a compact coastal home for first-time buyers or those seeking a low-maintenance weekend base. The sitting room and double bedroom both face the sea, and the apartment has been improved over time with a refitted shower room and fitted kitchen. At about 571 sq ft, the layout is efficient and bright, making the most of its seafront position.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (963 years remaining), share of freehold and chain-free sale, which simplify purchase. The property is close to the promenade, Wilmington Gardens, shops and cultural amenities; the town centre and mainline rail links to London are within walking distance. Council Tax band C is modest for the area.
Buyers should note the material running costs and some service limitations: the annual maintenance/service charge is currently around £2,900 and heating appears to be via electric heaters (no central heating system present). The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and is likely to have system-built walls with limited insulation — further improvement work may be required to boost thermal efficiency.
Other practical points: parking is on-street by permit with occasional garages available to rent or buy; broadband speeds are average while mobile signal is excellent. The neighbourhood records higher crime levels than average locally, so buyers should consider security and insurance implications. Overall this is a well-situated, move-in-ready flat with strong seaside appeal but some predictable running costs and retrofit considerations.
