A rare seafront one-bedroom apartment with direct sea views, just across from the beach. The property is compact at around 468 sq ft and has been presented in reasonable order, making it a straightforward move-in for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let starter. The flat occupies the first floor and offers a large living room, double bedroom, kitchen and bathroom — simple, usable spaces with period character.
The long lease (91 years) and low council tax reduce ongoing costs and make financing more feasible. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting remote work or lettings. Local amenities — shops, cafes, bandstand and transport links — are within easy reach, and schools nearby hold Good Ofsted ratings.
Buyers should note important negatives: the surrounding area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental demand. Image notes also indicate scaffolding and signs of structural/renovation work to parts of the building; a thorough survey is recommended. Flood risk is low.
Overall, this apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable seaside home or an investor looking for a small seafront unit with clear rental appeal, provided they factor in neighbourhood challenges and any required building repairs.
