This spacious ground-floor garden flat occupies part of a converted Victorian terrace and offers two double bedrooms and generous living space across approximately 764 sq ft. A south-facing private garden, two brick-built workshops and a lean-to extend the usable space and suit someone wanting outdoor storage or a work area. Gas central heating is installed and the flat shares the building with just one other property, providing a degree of privacy.
The property requires cosmetic updating throughout and presents clear scope to modernise to individual taste. Important legal and lending considerations apply: the lease has 59 years remaining and mortgage lenders are likely to refuse to lend; buyers should check financing options and factor potential lease-extension costs. There is also an absent freeholder situation that will be addressed by an indemnity policy on completion.
The local area is a busy seaside town with good transport links, local shops and primary and secondary schools nearby. Note practical downsides: the neighbourhood records very high crime levels and is in a very deprived area classification, and the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone. These factors affect insurance, security and resale or rental appeal and should be weighed alongside the property’s renovation potential.
