This two-bedroom second-floor apartment on Fairhaven Road offers ready-to-move-in coastal living close to Lytham St. Annes seafront. The layout includes a spacious lounge/dining room, modern fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms with an en suite to the master, and a main bathroom. A lift serves all floors and the flat comes with allocated off-street parking and communal grounds.
Practical advantages include long leasehold tenure (circa 977 years), double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas via a community heating scheme, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property’s modest footprint (approx. 525 sq ft) and communal-retirement classification make it particularly suitable for downsizers seeking low-maintenance, central seaside convenience.
Running costs and constraints are straightforward: the service charge is about £400 per quarter (circa £1,600 yearly) and council tax sits at Band D. The building dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), so buyers who prioritise high thermal efficiency should note there may be limited wall insulation. The area shows signs of local deprivation despite nearby good and outstanding schools and a wide range of amenities.
Overall this apartment is a practical seaside choice for buyers wanting immediate occupation and low day-to-day upkeep, with obvious appeal for those downsizing or seeking a second base near the coast. Viewings (including a virtual tour) are recommended to appreciate the light, sea views and communal facilities.
