A spacious two bedroomed apartment with views to the rear, in a high quality modern development.
Set within a wellregarded modern development built in the late 1980s, this spacious twobedroom apartment occupies a peaceful secondfloor position with lovely open views across the town to the rear. Summerhill House is known for its wellmaintained communal areas, passenger lift, landscaped gardens and thoughtful design, offering a comfortable and secure environment just half a mile from the seafront and town centre.
Approached through a tidy communal entrance and rising by lift or stairs, the apartment opens into a welcoming hallway with useful storage and space for laundry appliances. From here, the accommodation unfolds into a wonderfully generous living and dining space, where sliding doors lead out to a private balcony that captures the afternoon light and frames the farreaching outlook over the rooftops. A second sash window to the front ensures the room remains bright throughout the day, creating an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining.
The adjoining kitchen is neatly arranged with matching wall and base units, laminate worktops and an integrated oven and hob, with space for further appliances. Its practical layout and pleasant outlook make it a natural extension of the main living space.
The principal bedroom is a comfortable double room with its own private balcony — a peaceful spot to enjoy the morning sun or simply take in the elevated views. This bedroom benefits from an ensuite bathroom featuring a panelled bath with shower attachment, vanity basin and WC, along with generous mirrored surfaces that enhance the sense of space. A second double bedroom, also with a sash window and radiator, provides excellent flexibility for guests, a study or hobbies.
A separate shower room, fully tiled and fitted with a shower cubicle, WC and pedestal basin, serves the apartment well and adds to the practicality of the layout.
Outside, the development enjoys wellkept communal gardens and an enclosed bin store, together with a private allocated parking space for the apartment and additional visitor parking. The location is particularly appealing, with a newly created footpath nearby offering a scenic walk above the sea wall towards East Beach and along the seafront to Marine Parade and the harbour.
This wellcaredfor apartment now offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to update and personalise the interior, while enjoying the comfort, convenience and attractive outlook that Summerhill House provides.
We understand the flat is held on a 999 year lease from 1990 at a peppercorn ground rent. The freehold is held by a management company in which each flat owner is a shareholder. The management company administers the maintenance of the exterior, communal parts and gardens, and insurance of the structure. The vendors have informed us that the current maintenance charge will be £310.00 per month. The lease precludes the use of the property for holiday letting. The property is being sold with vacant possession and no onward chain.
