A compact, south-facing one-bedroom flat in a Victorian mid-terrace, just a short walk from award-winning beaches and the town centre. The property benefits from a long 965-year lease, a bay window that floods the open-plan space with light, and permission for holiday lets and Airbnb—features that make it attractive to short-stay investors.
The interior is presented with contemporary kitchen fittings and a bathroom with an electric shower over the bath. Heating is by electric room heaters and the building has double glazing installed before 2002. The flat sits in a densely populated, multicultural student neighbourhood with excellent mobile and fast broadband—useful for holiday bookings or student lets.
Buyers should note material considerations: the area records very high crime and is classed as deprived, which can affect long-term yield and tenant profiles. The building is solid-brick with assumed lack of wall insulation, and electric heating may mean higher running costs. Service charge is stated at £470 and council tax is very cheap, which partially offsets running costs.
For investors seeking a low-entry coastal asset with holiday-let flexibility and long lease security, this flat offers clear rental potential. For owner-occupiers or those seeking a low-maintenance permanent home, factor in the neighbourhood characteristics and potential cost of improving insulation and heating.
