Light-filled, south-facing living and dining room opens onto a balcony with direct sea views — a quiet spot to enjoy coastal sunsets. The apartment’s 804 sq ft layout includes two well-proportioned bedrooms, a compact modern kitchen and a bathroom, offering comfortable, low-maintenance living suited to downsizers or retirees.
Ownership is straightforward: a share of the freehold with the remainder of a 995-year lease gives long-term security. Practical extras include an allocated garage and separate store room, useful for bicycles, beach kit or extra storage that many flats lack.
Be realistic about running costs and upgrading: heating is by electric storage heaters and the double glazing dates from before 2002, so energy bills may be higher than modern systems. The service charge is around £1,740 per year; purchasers should factor this and the local above-average crime rate into their decision.
Overall, this mid-20th-century block provides a stable, purpose-built home a short walk from Perch and Brooklands and the seafront. For someone seeking easy coastal living with long lease security and private parking, the flat is a practical, well-located option — though buyers wishing to improve energy efficiency or modernise finishes should budget for works.
