A compact, low‑maintenance one-bedroom freehold house set within a secure gated development, suited to a first-time buyer or buy‑to‑let purchaser seeking seaside access and simple living. The ground floor offers an open-plan lounge/diner with double doors onto a private courtyard patio, plus a modern kitchen and downstairs WC. Upstairs provides a generous double bedroom with fitted storage and a bathroom; a boarded loft adds extra storage.
The property is fitted with underfloor heating throughout and air conditioning, and includes allocated off‑street parking. It’s presented in contemporary condition with double glazing and a paved forecourt, so day‑to‑day running is straightforward. Proximity to award‑winning sandy beaches and local shops adds lifestyle appeal and tenant demand potential.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the listing highlights a secure gated development but the local area records high crime levels and is classified as very deprived. The building information is inconsistent (described as a 10‑year‑old build while other data references earlier construction), so purchasers should verify the property age and title.
Other practical points: external walls are noted as cavity construction with no insulation assumed, which may affect energy costs and comfort; a specialist survey is advised. The footprint is compact (about 55.8 m² / 603 sq ft) and best suits a single occupant or couple rather than a family seeking large living spaces.
