Fourth-floor over-55s apartment with sea views and extensive communal facilities.
Over-55s only one-bedroom retirement apartment
Set on the fourth floor of Patching Lodge, this one-bedroom, over-55s apartment offers bright living spaces and panoramic sea views across Kemptown. Built in 2009 and accessed by lift, the flat has a generous lounge with twin windows, a modern fitted kitchen, a large double bedroom and a wet-room style bathroom. Large built-in storage cupboards and 24-hour response alarms add everyday convenience and peace of mind.
The building is designed for retirement living and benefits from on-site staff, a restaurant, café, small shop, launderette, library, communal patio garden and a roof terrace with sea views. There is an active resident community and regular communal activities, which make this a social and supportive environment for downsizers seeking easy, low-effort living.
The property is sold as a 75% shared ownership leasehold with a very long lease. A monthly service charge covers some utilities and communal services; buyers should budget for this ongoing cost. Note the location is in a very deprived area with higher local crime statistics — important factors for consideration when assessing safety and local amenity access.
Ideal for someone seeking a low-maintenance, sociable retirement base with excellent sea views, this apartment offers clear benefits but also comes with shared ownership and service charges. Viewing is recommended to judge the communal atmosphere, the rooftop outlook and whether the tenure suits your plans.
