A raised ground-floor two-bedroom flat in sought-after Westbourne, offering convenient town living with coastal access close by. The apartment is part of a well-kept mid-century development and includes a conveyed garage plus visitor parking — useful in this central location. The long lease (959 years) and share of freehold give strong tenure security, while the communal heating and buildings cover are included in the service charge.
Internal space is compact (approx. 528 sq ft) with a dual-aspect living/dining room that feels bright and practical. The fitted kitchen and bathroom are serviceable but could be modernised to personal taste; the flat will suit buyers seeking a ready-to-live-in home or a rental with immediate income potential. Council tax is noted as low, which helps running costs.
Notable considerations: the property carries a substantial annual service charge (approx. £3,840) that includes communal heating and insurance. Parking is first-come-first-served despite the garage, and the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s so buyers should expect period construction details — cavity walls assumed without added insulation. Crime in the area is reported above average; prospective purchasers should factor this into viewings and insurance.
Overall this flat suits first-time buyers, downsizers or investors who value Westbourne’s amenities and long lease security, and who accept communal costs and some updating to maximise value.
