A comfortable two-bedroom first-floor apartment in a small, purpose-built over-55s development just a short walk from Roman Bank and the seafront. The home offers a bright lounge, modern fitted kitchen, bathroom and handy integral store – a straightforward, low-maintenance base for someone wanting easy access to town amenities and the coast.
The development includes communal facilities that support independent living: lounge and social activities, on-site laundry, guest accommodation and a 24-hour emergency contact. There is allocated off-street parking (small annual fee), communal gardens and a long lease (963 years remaining). The property is offered chain-free for a quicker move.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the home is leasehold with service and ground charges payable (amounts currently unconfirmed), heating is electric slimline storage/radiator units which can be costly, and the flat is on the first floor with stairs to access. The surrounding area scores high for local crime and is designated as very deprived, which may affect resale perception and insurance costs.
Overall this is a sensible, low-upkeep option for an over-55s buyer seeking coastal convenience and community facilities. It will suit someone prioritising location and communal support who is comfortable with electric heating, stairs and a leasehold arrangement.
