Set on the upper two floors of Austen Court, this split-level two-bedroom apartment offers a rare top-floor position with south-facing balcony and distant sea views. The living space flows from a sizeable lounge/diner to a separate kitchen, while two bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the upper level — practical for those who want living and sleeping areas separated. A garage in the compound and a long lease with share of freehold add tangible ownership benefits, and the property is offered chain-free for a quicker move.
The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and benefits from double glazing installed after 2002 and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The communal grounds and nearby beach provide a relaxed coastal setting, with bus links and the village centre under a mile away for shops and amenities. Local schools and very low crime rates make the area reassuring for downsizers or buyers seeking a quieter coastal community.
Buyers should note some practical points: the construction is cavity wall as built with no added wall insulation assumed, so heating costs may be higher than newer builds. Broadband and mobile signals are average, and the apartment will suit those comfortable with a multi-storey layout (second and third floors) rather than lift access. Council tax is moderate and the property’s mid-century build may invite cosmetic updating to match modern tastes.
Overall, this top-floor apartment is a comfortable, well-located coastal home with clear ownership advantages and outside space, offering strong appeal to downsizers or those wanting easy seaside access with a garage and long lease.
