- Short walk to mainline station and seafront
- Period Edwardian building with character features

This four-bedroom first-floor flat occupies part of an Edwardian mixed-use building on Hamlet Court Road, a short walk from the mainline station and the seafront. The apartment offers 936 sq ft of accommodation laid out over approximately six rooms, suitable for buyers seeking space close to local amenities and good transport links.
The property has clear investment or DIY potential: period features and timber-frame construction give character, while many areas require modernisation. The building is described as a fixer-upper above commercial premises, so expect work on finishes, heating upgrade (currently electric storage heaters) and possible refurbishment to bring the flat up to contemporary standards.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold, has a single bathroom for four bedrooms, sits within an area of higher crime and local deprivation, and overall size is described as small for the number of bedrooms. On the positive side, council tax is affordable, mobile signal and broadband speeds are good, and a wide range of shops, services and several well-rated schools are within walking distance.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or investor comfortable with renovation and the responsibilities of a leasehold property. It promises convenience and coastal proximity for those aiming to create a comfortable, modern home or a rental unit after refurbishment.
