About this home
GROUND FLOOR WITH GARDEN | 150+ YEAR LEASE | LOW OUTGOINGS | NO ONWARD CHAINNot your typical one-bedroom flat. This beautifully maintained ground-floor home combines generous period proportions with direct garden access, a lease in excess of 150 years and unusually low annual charges, all within walking distance of the seafront, High Street and mainline stations. The 14'9" bay-fronted lounge is light and spacious, with high ceilings, decorative cornicing and a feature fireplace. To the rear is a 12'1" kitchen/diner, with plenty of storage and worktop space, room for a dining table and chairs and direct access to the garden. There is a lovely 11'11" double bedroom overlooking the rear, together with an unusually generous 8'11" three-piece shower room. Outside, a useful side patio leads onto the west-facing rear garden, providing a fantastic outdoor space rarely found with a flat. The current owner has enjoyed use of the entire garden; the far section is legally allocated to the upstairs flat but can be separated if required. Running costs are another major attraction. The lease has over 150 years remaining, ground rent is approximately £35 per year, while the service charge is only approximately £800 per year including buildings insurance. Residents' permit parking is available outside at approximately £20 per year, with visitor permits also available, and parking is generally readily available. Offered with no onward chain, this is a light, airy and extremely well-cared-for home with an excellent combination of space, garden, low outgoings and central convenience.
