Spacious two-bedroom flat with period charm and long lease near the seafront.
Circa 1,017 sq ft — unusually large for a two-bedroom apartment
Large open-plan kitchen/living room with high ceilings and big windows
982 years remaining on the lease; peppercorn ground rent
Resident and visitor off-street parking; well-maintained communal grounds
Service charge c. £2,775 per annum; factor into ownership costs
One bathroom only; bedrooms share a single three-piece suite
Located on the Promenade near transport links and coastal amenities
Local area: very deprived with higher-than-average crime levels
Set within an impressive Victorian Gothic Revival building on Southport Promenade, this spacious two-bedroom apartment offers circa 1,017 sq ft of flexible living space. The large open-plan kitchen/living room and high ceilings create an airy, loft-like feel ideal for modern living or rental appeal. Resident and visitor off-street parking and well-kept communal grounds add convenience and kerb appeal.
Practical ownership is straightforward: a very long lease (982 years remaining) and a peppercorn ground rent. Annual service charges are £2,775, and council tax is moderate. The apartment has one bathroom serving both bedrooms and would suit buyers seeking space rather than multiple bathrooms.
Location is a clear strength for commuters and holiday lettings, with strong transport links into Liverpool and Manchester and Southport’s coast, parks, and amenities on the doorstep. Nearby primary schools are rated Good. However, the immediate area records higher crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale values and rental yields; buyers should factor this into decision-making.
Overall this property will suit investors looking for a large, characterful flat with long-term lease security, or buyers wanting generous space in a landmark building. It offers solid potential but comes with visible area-wide social challenges and ongoing service charges that should be weighed alongside its many positives.
