Top-floor dual-aspect lounge with enclosed private balcony and open views
Allocated off-street parking for one vehicle
Long lease (share of freehold) — approx. 935 years remaining
Heating via electric room heaters; no central heating
Poor EPC rating (G) — likely higher running costs
Service charge about £2,750/year; moderate council tax
Cavity walls assumed without insulation; potential improvement works
Slow broadband speeds may affect home working or streaming
Set on the top floor of a well-regarded mid‑century block in Wellswood Village, this light two-bedroom apartment offers practical, low‑maintenance living with open aspect views. The dual-aspect lounge leads to an enclosed balcony ideal for morning coffee while enjoying outlooks across the neighbourhood and distant sea glimpses from the shower room.
The layout suits someone looking to downsize or buy a comfortable retirement home: two good-sized bedrooms, a fitted kitchen with ample worktop space, built-in hallway storage and lift access to one floor below (short stairs to the flat). The long lease (share of freehold) provides ownership security and the apartment includes one allocated parking space.
Buyers should be aware of a few material considerations. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property has poor energy performance (EPC G). The building’s walls are cavity with no assumed insulation and broadband speeds are slow — all factors that could influence running costs and modern comfort expectations. The current service charge is approximately £2,750 per year and council tax is moderate.
Overall, this apartment presents a straightforward, well-positioned purchase in an affluent, low-crime area with good local schools and community amenities. It will particularly suit purchasers valuing location, low upkeep, and long lease security, and those willing to accept or upgrade the property’s energy and connectivity shortcomings.
