Perched on the top floor of the distinctive Gateway block, this one-bedroom apartment delivers genuine coastal views and low‑maintenance living. The private balcony looks straight to the sea, creating a rare spot for morning coffee or evening sunsets. At 664 sq ft the layout feels generous for a one-bedroom, with separate living space, kitchen and a sun room.
Practical benefits include allocated off-street parking, a long lease, double glazing (fitted after 2002) and chain‑free sale for a straightforward purchase. Heating is via a community mains‑gas scheme and the property shows typical mid‑20th‑century construction, which keeps running costs predictable but limits thermal performance.
Buyers should note material points plainly: the building dates from the 1950s–60s and walls are presumed to be uninsulated, so further insulation or energy improvements may be needed. The local area scores as more deprived with higher local crime levels than average, which may affect resale or rental demand. Broadband is average, though mobile signal is excellent, and the site is not at flood risk.
This apartment suits someone looking to downsize to a seaside home with space and a balcony, or an investor attracted to chain‑free sale and long lease security. Expect to make modest modernisation or efficiency upgrades to unlock the best value from the flat.
