This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment on the second floor offers open-plan living and a large private balcony with sweeping views across St Anne’s promenade and the beach. Bright rooms have bi-fold access from lounge and main bedroom, creating an easy indoor–outdoor flow and relaxed coastal outlook. The property is part of a secure McCarthy Stone development for the over-60s with a House Manager, 24-hour Careline and video entry.
Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge and a guest suite, supporting visiting family and low-maintenance social living. The apartment is presented in modern condition with good storage and electric underfloor heating, making it comfortable and straightforward to run. At 872 sq ft it is a manageable size for downsizers who want space without excess maintenance.
Practical points worth noting: this is a leasehold retirement flat with a ground rent of £495 (average) and electric main heating. Broadband speeds are average and the wider area records higher crime levels and measures of deprivation; buyers should weigh these local factors. The location is convenient — roughly 500m to the town centre, 150m to local bus stops and about half a mile to St Anne’s train station.
Overall, the apartment suits a buyer seeking a secure, low‑maintenance coastal home with strong communal support and easy access to local amenities. It offers immediate comfort with potential to personalise, but comes with typical leasehold costs and local-area considerations to review before purchase.
