This sixth-floor three-bedroom flat offers panoramic views across the English Channel, with two balconies positioned for morning and evening enjoyment. At about 969 sq ft, the apartment has a practical single-storey layout with a separate dining area and decent living space, presented ready to move into.
The building dates from the 1950s–60s and uses a community heating scheme; the property has double glazing (unknown install date) and cavity walls with assumed no added insulation. The tenure is leasehold with 82 years remaining and an above-average service charge of £6,120 per year—important ongoing costs to factor in.
Practical points: there is one bathroom and a separate toilet, a utility room and modest room sizes. The location is convenient for town, St James' shopping development and local amenities, and several reputable schools are within reach. Mobile signal is excellent, broadband speeds average.
Considerations: the surrounding area records higher crime and deprivation levels, and some communal elements reflect the building’s post-war age. Buyers should verify lease, service charge details and the condition of appliances and services; this property will suit buyers prioritising coastal views and convenience over a brand-new build.
