Construction dates from the 1930s–1940s with cavity walls that likely lack insulation; heating is mains gas boiler and radiators and glazing is double but install date is unknown. The building shows some exterior wear and the flat’s interior is average in size — renovation or insulation works may improve comfort and value. Buyers should commission their own surveys and checks before purchase.
The location suits downsizers or investors seeking a lettable seaside flat with garage and parking close to transport links, schools and the M4 corridor. Chain-free sale and sea views are attractive benefits, but factor in service charges, possible maintenance and the auction sale process when considering offers.
