Set in the Maritime Court development on Southport’s Promenade, this ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers an accessible, chain-free entry to town-centre living. The layout includes a generous living room, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and practical storage — all on one level for easy day-to-day living. Lift access, communal lounge and off-street underground parking add convenience for residents.
This property will suit first-time buyers or those downsizing who prioritise location and low-move-in friction. The flat has a long lease (999 years from 2006, c.982 years remaining) and a reasonable service charge of £1,440 per year. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and local shops, buses and amenities are immediately on the doorstep.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: the EPC is graded E and heating is electric warm-air, which can be less efficient than gas systems. The building is post-war stock with double glazing installed before 2002 and assumed cavity walls with no added insulation — future energy upgrades may be needed. The development does not permit subletting or pets.
The local area is a busy town-centre location with many amenities and schools nearby, but also records higher crime and significant deprivation. For someone prioritising central access to shops, transport and the seafront, this apartment offers affordable entry with clear scope to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
