Set within the popular Chislet Court retirement development, this ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers easy single-level living and a communal roof terrace with sea views. The apartment has been updated by the previous owner and sits a short walk from local shops, cafes and the pier — convenient for day-to-day errands and coastal walks.
Practical buyers will note the apartment’s modest footprint (approximately 329 sq ft) and traditional layout: entrance hall, shower room, one bedroom, lounge and fitted kitchen. Heating is via electric storage heaters and double glazing was installed after 2002. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as good, useful for staying connected.
Important matters are clear: the lease has about 73 years remaining, which may limit mortgage options and will concern many lenders. Annual service charge and ground rent are significant (approx. £3,432 and £557 respectively), and the property is being sold by Modern Auction — sale subject to undisclosed reserve and buyer fees. The local area scores high for deprivation and crime, so viewings should factor neighbourhood context into any decision.
This flat will suit a downsizer or retired buyer seeking a low-maintenance coastal base with communal amenities and easy access to town facilities. It also offers short-term investment potential for cash buyers prepared to accept lease and service-charge considerations. Verify lease details, lender acceptability and all service/appliance conditions before committing.
