Minimum age 60; retirement development with communal facilities
Chain free; three bedrooms, 727 sq ft internal space

Occupying a top-floor position in Homepine House, this three-bedroom penthouse delivers expansive outlooks across The Leas and the English Channel from two private balconies. The large master bedroom with built-in wardrobes and direct balcony access feels like a peaceful coastal retreat, while the main lounge provides space for both relaxation and dining, maximising the sea views.
The development is age-restricted (minimum 60) and designed for independent retirement living, with lift access, an on-site manager, residents’ lounge, communal gardens, guest suites and laundry facilities. The apartment is offered chain free and has a practical layout for downsizers who want space for visitors and occasional entertaining.
Be aware of a few material points: the property uses individual electric room heaters rather than a central heating system, the building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, and broadband speeds are average. The flat is leasehold with 95 years remaining, and the surrounding area shows higher levels of deprivation, which may affect resale dynamics.
Overall, this is a rare three-bedroom top-floor apartment in a purpose-built retirement block, notable for its sea views, outdoor balconies and sociable communal facilities. It will suit buyers seeking comfortable, low-stairs living with good local amenities, but those wanting modern heating, higher insulation, or faster broadband should factor potential upgrades into their plans.
