1 bed 1 bath Flat

Ground-floor one-bedroom flat with unusually large rooms and high ceilings
Private, lawned rear garden and French doors from the lounge
Chain free and very long lease (988 years remaining)
Council Tax Band A — low running costs
Conflicting heating info (gas combi stated; earlier record lists electric storage heaters)
50% shared contribution for building maintenance/repairs
Located close to Morecambe town centre and seafront promenade
Area shows very high deprivation and above-average crime — factor in suitability
A large, ground-floor one-bedroom flat quietly tucked within an Edwardian semi on Derwent Avenue, offered chain free with an exceptionally long lease (988 years remaining). The apartment feels unusually spacious for a one-bed: a bay-fronted double bedroom, a big lounge with feature fireplace and French doors, a fitted kitchen and a practical shower room. The rear lawned garden is private and useful for outdoor space — rare at this price point.
Practical running costs are a positive: very low Council Tax (Band A) and a peppercorn ground rent under a long lease. The flat has uPVC double glazing and a gas combi boiler stated in the accommodation description, but note earlier records reference electric storage heaters and electricity as the main fuel — prospective buyers should verify current heating type and services. The tenure includes a 50% contribution to shared structural maintenance/repairs.
Location suits buyers wanting town- and seafront access; Morecambe town centre and the promenade are walkable. This makes the property suitable for first-time buyers seeking ground-floor convenience, retirees downsizing, or landlords targeting local rental demand. Be aware the wider area shows high deprivation and above-average crime statistics — important for families or investment risk assessments.
The building dates to the 1930–1949 era and retains period character (stained glass, high ceilings, original features) but will benefit from cosmetic updating in places. Internal inspection is recommended to confirm finish levels, heating system, and any fabric works before committing.
