This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in a modern development just a short walk from Southbourne clifftops and seven miles of sandy beach. The layout offers an open-plan living area with a small patio, two double bedrooms (one with en-suite) and allocated off-street parking — practical for beach days and local amenities.
The property benefits from double glazing, underfloor heating powered by a mains-gas boiler, and a built-in kitchen with appliances. Service charge and ground rent are payable; the service charge averages £1,040 per year and the ground rent is £394 pa with a five-year RPI review.
Important legal and sale details affect purchase prospects: this apartment is being sold by mortgagees in possession with a current offer of £180,000 noted in the public notice. It is chain-free but the high ground rent and five-year RPI clause may make mortgage approval difficult — buyers should check affordability and lender acceptance before offering. The property is sold as seen and appliances/services have not been tested.
Practical considerations include a 106-year unexpired lease, allocated parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The local area has many amenities and good schools, but crime levels are reported as high; factor in local security and insurance considerations.
