Large rooms, parking and parkside location ideal for first-step buyers.
Self-contained first-floor flat occupying whole floor
Occupying the entire first floor of a handsome Victorian villa, this self-contained two-bedroom flat offers unexpectedly large rooms, high ceilings and a generous kitchen/dining space — living space more akin to a house. The property benefits from UPVC double glazing, gas central heating and a long 999-year lease, plus an allocated off-street parking bay for practical day-to-day living.
The flat sits in a desirable lower hillside position with a pleasant outlook to front and rear and is literally moments from Grove Park, with easy access to the town centre and beach. The bathroom is roomy and fitted with both a bath and a separate shower cubicle. Presentation is a strong point throughout: the accommodation is well maintained and ready to move into.
Notable considerations are the location’s wider social context — the area records higher crime levels and is classified as very deprived — and the building’s traditional sandstone walls which are likely uninsulated. The glazing was installed before 2002 and may not meet modern energy-efficiency expectations; the EPC is a D. Council Tax sits in Band B, which is relatively inexpensive.
This flat will suit buyers who prioritise period character, generous room proportions and convenience to park, seafront and town amenities. It also offers scope for buyers who want to improve energy performance and add value through sympathetic upgrading where required.
