This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in an attractive Victorian sandstone building just a short walk from the seafront and local amenities. High ceilings and large windows give the living room a bright, spacious feel; the layout includes an open-plan kitchen/living area, a double bedroom to the rear, and a contemporary shower room.
The property is offered chain free and has around 97 years remaining on the lease. Annual costs quoted are a ground rent of £150 and a maintenance figure of approximately £900 (paid on an as-and-when basis). Council Tax is Band A (£1,702.76 per year). Broadband speeds in the area are slow, though mobile signal is excellent.
Built before 1900 in sandstone with period detailing, the building presents strong curb appeal and scope to add value internally. There is no private garden apparent and external walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should factor potential retrofit or insulation work into budgets. The location close to the park, train station and beach makes it suitable for a coastal home or buy-to-let.
Practical points: the seller’s lease and service-charge details should be verified by your solicitor. This apartment will suit a single buyer or couple seeking a low-entry coastal property, or an investor looking for a centrally located rental; expect some light refurbishment to maximise long-term value.
