Set within desirable Westoe Village, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers generous room sizes, high ceilings and a bright, characterful living room with bay window—typical of the building’s period charm. The layout includes a spacious lounge, a kitchen-diner, a large main bedroom, a second bedroom and a contemporary bathroom. Externally there is rear parking and a single brick garage with an electric door. The property is offered with vacant possession and would suit a buyer wanting immediate occupation or to let out straight away.
Important practical points are straightforward: heating is by electric room heaters and the property uses electricity as its main fuel; the EPC is currently TBC. The flat will be sold at auction on 11th December 2025 and the successful buyer will pay a non-refundable auction administration fee. The sale is leasehold — there are 62 years remaining on the lease, which is low for mortgage purposes and may prevent many high-street lenders from offering finance.
This home will appeal to first-time buyers or downsizers who value village amenities and coastal access, and to investors able to buy with cash or specialist lending. The compact council tax band and very low local crime are practical benefits, while excellent mobile signal and good broadband potential support modern living. Note that buyers should seek legal advice on the lease length and be prepared for auction terms, fees and completion timescales.
