This bright upper-floor flat sits in a Georgian building close to New Brighton Promenade, offering two true double bedrooms and a generous open-plan kitchen/living room of over 18ft. The property is presented as a blank canvas: it benefits from contemporary fixtures in the kitchen but will suit buyers willing to personalise finishes. Council Tax band A keeps running costs low.
The apartment comes with residents’ off-street parking, communal gardens and secure intercom access — amenities that are uncommon for the area. Good public transport links, local shops and several well-regarded primary schools make this a practical choice for first-time buyers. Investors will note the advertised potential yield of circa 9.5% and the area’s rental demand.
Buyers should be aware this is a leasehold property with an absentee freeholder, which may affect management and service arrangements. The wider area is classified as deprived and the local market contains many constrained renters; buyers should factor these local economic conditions into purchase plans. The building is period construction with solid brick walls and internal insulation.
Overall, the flat offers clear value for purchasers seeking a reasonably priced, characterful home or a buy-to-let opportunity. It rewards modest investment in cosmetic updating and active management of the leasehold arrangements.
