Bright first-floor flat with balcony and bay windows, ideal coastal starter home.

Open-plan kitchen with integrated Siemens appliances
Private balcony and communal garden; building renovated May 2024
Leasehold: 159 years left, ground rent £50 pa, service charge c.£1,360 pa
Solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation (energy upgrade needed)
Currently tenant in situ — purchase may not provide immediate vacant possession
Local area: high crime and very deprived — consider location implications
Set on Palmeira Avenue, this first-floor apartment combines Edwardian period detail with clear coastal appeal. Bay sash windows and a private balcony frame estuary views from the lounge, bedroom and kitchen-diner, while original features such as stained glass, coving and a granite fireplace give the apartment character. The open-plan kitchen/diner is well-equipped with integrated appliances and granite worktops, making daily life straightforward.
The flat is leasehold with 159 years remaining, a modest ground rent of £50 per year and an annual service charge of approximately £1,360. The building exterior was reportedly renovated in May 2024 and there is a communal garden. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; the building is solid brick (likely without cavity insulation) which should be considered if planning any energy upgrades.
Practical considerations are important: the area shows high crime and a very deprived local profile, and the property is currently let (tenant in situ) which affects immediate vacant possession. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, council tax is described as affordable, and the flat’s 657 sq ft feels large for a one-bedroom, offering comfortable living or rental potential.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking a coastal starter home or a buy-to-let opportunity who values period features and estuary views. Be clear on intended use: if you need immediate occupation, check tenancy details; if you plan energy improvements, allow for insulation work given the building’s solid-wall construction.
