This compact two-bedroom, sea-view apartment offers a genuine coastal retreat with a balcony overlooking the shoreline. At about 420 sq ft, the layout is efficient and low-maintenance, suited to someone seeking a lock-up-and-leave holiday base or an affordable first home close to the beach. Chain free and with 109 years remaining on the lease, the purchase is straightforward for buyers who prefer clarity on tenure.
Practical running costs include electric storage heating and double glazing installed after 2002; council tax is very low. The property carries a modest service charge (£500) and a small ground rent (£200). There is no flood risk recorded. The block dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the apartment shows modern minimal interiors with laminate floors, but the building’s age means some buyers should expect typical maintenance needs over time.
Notable local factors: the area is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime, and the local primary school currently requires improvement. These community challenges may affect resale or lettability and are important for buyers to weigh against the strong seaside location. Investors should consider local demand carefully; holiday-let potential exists but will depend on personal management and local market conditions.
Overall, this apartment will suit buyers prioritising price and location over space — ideal for first-time purchasers or downsizers wanting easy access to the coast. Be realistic about size and local social indicators when arranging viewings and planning any future improvements.
