Summary - THE RED HOUSE FLAT 2 MADEIRA ROAD LITTLESTONE NEW ROMNEY TN28 8QS
2 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Spacious retirement flat near beach and golf for over-60s.
Ground-floor Victorian apartment with direct communal garden access
This spacious ground-floor flat sits within a Victorian manor on the Littlestone fringe, offering generous rooms, direct access to the communal garden and both a garage en-bloc and allocated parking. Located a short walk from the beach and local golf course, it suits someone seeking an elevated retirement lifestyle in an affluent, low-crime area. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and mains gas central heating provides practical, familiar services.
The property is being promoted with a Homewise Lifetime Lease example price of £165,500 for buyers aged 60+, reflecting typical savings against the full market value of £250,000. The Lifetime Lease option allows purchase of up to a 50% share to safeguard future value; exact price depends on age and circumstances. The lease length remaining is long (948 years), and the flat is chain free for a straightforward move.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the annual service charge is high at £4,592, and the building is a pre-1900 solid brick construction likely without wall insulation, which could affect running costs and future retrofit work. The Lifetime Lease route is restricted to over-60s and alters ownership structure compared with a conventional freehold purchase. All measurements, tenure and appliance conditions should be independently verified by solicitors and surveyors.
Overall this is a practical, character-filled retirement apartment with sensible communal amenities and strong location benefits, best suited to a buyer comfortable with a higher service charge and the specific features of an older period building.
