Area indicators: high crime and very deprived locality — impacts demand
Slow broadband and average mobile signal may affect home working
Perched on the top floor with a southerly aspect, this two-bedroom apartment delivers direct sea views from both the living room and main bedroom and a sun balcony for coastal living. The flat is sold with vacant possession and a rare long lease (approx. 930 years) under a share of freehold, offering ownership security unusual for seaside flats. A garage en-bloc and lift access add practical convenience for everyday life.
The accommodation is spacious by apartment standards with a large living room, generous kitchen/breakfast room and two double bedrooms. Gas central heating and double glazing are already installed, reducing immediate running-cost concerns. The property’s layout and size (c. 776 sq ft) give clear potential for a sympathetic refurbishment to modernise finishes and improve value.
Buyers should note the apartment requires renovation; cosmetic and likely kitchen/bathroom upgrades are needed. Service charges average around £577 quarterly, and the EPC is D. The location faces challenges: the wider area shows high crime and high deprivation indicators, and broadband speeds are slow; these factors may affect resale or rental demand.
This home will suit a buyer seeking a coastal property to personalise—particularly downsizers wanting sea views and easy access to the promenade—or an investor prepared to refurbish. Its combination of long lease, garage and vacant possession creates a straightforward project with strong seaside appeal, provided you accept the refurbishment and local-area considerations.
