Summary - 11 Fairlawns, Colbert Avenue SS1 3BX
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Upper-floor apartment with garage and communal gardens near station and seafront.
Impressive lounge with chrome-and-glass balcony and garden views
Set on the upper floor of a well-kept mid-century block in desirable Thorpe Bay, this two-bedroom apartment suits buyers seeking low-maintenance comfort with room to relax. The impressively proportioned lounge opens to a stylish chrome-and-glass balcony that enjoys treetop views over the communal gardens towards the golf course — a rare spot for morning coffee or evening sunsets.
The accommodation is practical and light: a 14' fitted kitchen with integrated oven, plumbing for appliances, two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, and a tiled shower room with useful linen storage. The flat benefits from double glazing, a modern Worcester gas boiler and an EPC rating of C, keeping running costs reasonable for the area.
Outside, the development sits on extensive, professionally maintained grounds with ample residents’ and visitor parking. The apartment includes its own remote-control garage and sits within easy walking distance of Thorpe Bay station, parks and local amenities — convenient for commuting and seaside leisure. The property is sold as a share of freehold with approximately 181 years remaining on the lease.
Practical points to note: the building’s service charge is around £2,700 per year (covers buildings insurance, water, gardening and communal electricity) and there is a single shower room rather than a bathroom. Overall size is average for a two-bedroom flat, making this a sensible downsizer or rental purchase in an affluent, low-crime area.
