This second-floor, two-bedroom seafront apartment offers panoramic views across Dovercourt Bay and direct access to Marine Parade. Its layout includes a living room with French doors, a fitted kitchen, main bathroom and an en-suite — a practical footprint for downsizers seeking low-maintenance seaside living. An allocated gated parking space and communal rear garden add convenience.
The property is offered with no onward chain as a probate sale and sits on a long lease (approx. 101 years remaining). Annual running costs include a service charge (approximately £2,676) and ground rent (approximately £295). The apartment was built in the early 1990s, has double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note important local and property considerations: the immediate area records high crime and significant deprivation, and the overall internal size is small (about 544 sq ft). These factors affect suitability and resale prospects. For purchasers prioritising income, the coastal location and sea views provide holiday-let potential, but leasehold costs and probate timing should be factored into any investment calculation.
Practical advantages include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good local amenities, plus nearby schools and transport links. A full inspection and professional survey are advised to confirm condition and running costs before committing, and to clarify any additional leasehold fees such as pack costs.
