A well-presented one-bedroom retirement flat arranged at lower-ground level within the historic Clifftown conservation area. Recently redecorated and refurbished, the home offers an open-plan lounge/kitchen, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a practical wet room — all laid out to be low-maintenance and easy to manage. Independent street access and a second communal entrance provide convenience and flexibility.
Built before 1900 and set within a purpose-built retirement development, the property benefits from communal amenities including a residents’ lounge, laundry facilities, off-street parking and a 24-hour care line, making it suitable for those wanting on-site support and social spaces. The lease has around 100 years remaining, no onward chain and parking is available for residents.
There are some important factual points to note: heating is via electric storage heaters and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, which may affect running costs. The service charge is substantial at about £3,360 per year and ground rent is £120 annually. The wider area records above-average crime and higher local deprivation statistics, which may be relevant when considering long-term suitability.
Overall this is a compact, recently refreshed retirement flat aimed at purchasers over 55 seeking an accessible, low-upkeep home close to town and local green spaces, with communal support and parking in place. It suits downsizers who prioritise convenience and community facilities but who are comfortable managing electric heating and service charges.
