Set on the first floor of an Edwardian terrace, this two-bedroom apartment combines period character with modern comfort. The 18'3" bay-fronted lounge, high ceilings and original cornicing give a sense of space that’s rare for a city-centre flat. A contemporary fitted kitchen and a stylish bathroom with a freestanding bath complete the living accommodation.
Practical strengths include private off-street parking, a compact rear garden with balcony access, gas central heating and double glazing. The long lease (116 years remaining) provides security for buyers; the EPC is band D with potential to reach C if improved. The flat’s layout and presentation make it suitable for first-time buyers or investors seeking good rental appeal close to rail links and the seafront.
Be candid about the neighbourhood: this area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels, which will affect desirability and insurance costs. The building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so further energy-efficiency improvements could reduce running costs and lift the EPC.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful city-centre apartment offering immediate move-in comfort and clear scope for small upgrades to improve efficiency and value. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the proportions and private outdoor space.
