Summary - SANDOWN COURT 56 ALBERT ROAD SOUTHPORT PR9 0HE
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright two-bed apartment with balcony, sea views and low charges near Lord Street.
Fifth-floor two-bedroom apartment with sunny private balcony and sea views
This fifth-floor two-bedroom apartment in Sandown Court offers bright, open-plan living with a sunny private balcony and far-reaching views over Southport and the Marine Lake. The flat itself is presented as well-maintained with double glazing, an integrated kitchen, fitted wardrobes and a newly fitted walk-in shower—ready to move into for buyers wanting immediate use or rental income.
Practical running costs are reasonable: council tax band B, EPC C, low monthly service charge (£156) and modest ground rent (£55). The long lease (999 years from 1965, 642 years remaining on the deed information) removes a common leasehold worry. Two lifts, a residents’ lounge/reception and off-street parking add convenience for residents.
Materially, the building is a mid-20th-century block constructed c.1976–82 with communal areas that show the era’s design; some external and communal spaces may feel dated and could need attention over time. Heating is by electric storage heaters — efficient for well-insulated flats but potentially costly if rates rise. The property sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate, which will matter to families and some investors.
This apartment suits first-time buyers, downsizers, or buy-to-let investors looking for a seaside location within walking distance of Lord Street, the Promenade and local amenities. Early viewing is recommended to assess communal condition, outlook and liveability in person.
