Set within Seward Court — a McCarthy Stone development in Highcliffe town centre — this ground-floor one-bedroom apartment is tailored for over-60s looking to downsize with support on hand. The apartment has been newly re-floored throughout and offers a bright living room that opens onto a private south-facing patio, ideal for morning sun and people-watching on the high street.
Residents benefit from an onsite house manager, 24-hour careline in every room, a large communal lounge with patio access, communal gardens, a laundry room and a bookable guest suite for visiting family. Off-street residents' parking is available to the rear. The apartment is chain free and ready to move into, with fitted kitchen appliances and a fitted double bedroom with mirrored wardrobes.
Practical points to note: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is leasehold with approximately 110 years remaining. Ongoing costs include an annual service charge of about £3,142.48 and a ground rent of roughly £395 — both paid half-yearly. Council tax is band C. The flat’s size (around 501 sq ft) and communal service charges suit someone wanting low-maintenance living rather than a project property.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a convenient, social retirement base close to shops, bus stops and the beach. It offers immediate occupancy and the reassurance of onsite support, balanced by the predictable costs and constraints of sheltered leasehold living.
