First-floor, two double bedrooms with walk-in wardrobe
Light and airy first-floor apartment in Hubert Lodge, a purpose-built over-60s development in the heart of Hythe Village. The layout offers a generous lounge/diner, two double bedrooms and a modern fitted kitchen — all arranged across an average-sized 695 sq ft. Practical additions include a lift, mobility scooter store, guest suite and off-street parking.
Residents benefit from communal comforts and support: landscaped gardens, an owners’ lounge, 24-hour Careline emergency system and heating/hot water supplied by a ground-source heat pump included in the service charge. The property is chain-free with a long 999-year lease, making it straightforward to purchase and settle in quickly.
Be aware of the ongoing costs: a semi-annual service charge of £2,621.38 (covers heating, water, insurance, house manager and communal maintenance) and a ground rent of £312.50 every six months. The crime level in the area is above average, so buyers should consider security needs and insurance implications. The apartment is well-presented but suited to those wanting a low-maintenance retirement home rather than a project.
Overall this apartment will appeal to downsizers seeking a secure, social retirement setting close to Hythe amenities and coastline, with practical support and communal facilities already in place. An internal viewing is recommended to judge space and communal life firsthand.
