Panoramic Solent views, allocated parking and share of freehold, ready to personalise.
Seafront, front-line first-floor apartment with panoramic Solent views
A rare first-floor, front-line seafront apartment with panoramic Solent views from the bay-windowed living room and period balcony. The two double bedrooms and generous living space suit first-time buyers or couples seeking a coastal home with immediate visual impact. Allocated off-street parking and lift access add everyday convenience.
The property comes with a share of the freehold and no forward chain; a lease-extension is offered to complete with sale. The modern fitted kitchen and bathroom reduce immediate refurbishment needs, but the building’s age means some updating may be desirable to personalise the space.
Be clear about the costs and constraints: the lease has 87 years remaining, ground rent is £50 pa and the service charge averages £3,109.88 pa (includes water). Heating is by electric storage heaters, the walls are likely uninsulated solid brick, and the double glazing predates 2002 — these factors affect running costs and may require improvement.
The area is lively and cosmopolitan, with fast broadband and strong mobile signal, but local crime levels are higher than average. Internal viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the light, scale and seafront aspect before deciding.
