Bright, well-proportioned first-floor flat with genuine coastal appeal. The dual-aspect 17'8 lounge/diner opens onto a private balcony with sea and harbour views — a rare bonus for this price band — and the apartment benefits from two double bedrooms and useful built-in storage. Access is step-free via a passenger lift, making day-to-day living easier for a wide range of buyers.
The accommodation is presented in good order but sits in a mid-20th-century block that will reward modest updating. Double glazing and gas central heating are in place, yet some external elements and internal finishes show their age; the property is best suited to buyers who want a ready-to-live-in home with potential to personalize, or investors seeking a straightforward let in a well-connected location.
Practicalities: the flat is leasehold with around 89 years remaining, a low stated ground rent and an annual service charge (details to be checked). It is offered chain free and has an above-average internal floor area for a two-bedroom flat, which helps versatility for either a first purchase, downsizer or buy-to-let purchaser. Local connections are strong — short walks to rail, shops and buses — and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add to everyday convenience.
Be aware of context: the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and some communal elements and windows reflect that era. The wider area scores as more challenged economically; prospective buyers should view in person to judge the immediate outlook and communal grounds. Overall this is a spacious, practical coastal apartment with clear upside for modest modernisation and cosmetic refresh.
