Summary - Sunrise Senior Living Whitegate Drive, Blackpool, FY3 FY3 9EN
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Secure, sociable one-bedroom flat in a managed over-60s development.
No onward chain — ready for quick purchase
A purpose-built, first-floor retirement apartment in an over-60s development, this one-bedroom home offers secure, sociable living with no onward chain. The layout includes a hallway, lounge with adjoining kitchen, one double bedroom and a three-piece bathroom — about 459 sq ft of manageable space suited to downsizers seeking low-maintenance living.
Residents benefit from practical communal facilities: a residents’ lounge, free laundry room, communal gardens, on-site parking, lift access and an on-site duty manager with a 24/7 emergency alarm and intercom. The building has a C EPC and double glazing; the property is set within contemporary purpose-built accommodation from the late 1990s/early 2000s.
Important practical points: the lease has around 80 years remaining — this may limit mortgage options and could require a specialist lender or a higher deposit. Service charges are approximately £4,000 pa with ground rent around £490 pa, and heating is by electric storage heaters (no community gas). The wider area shows above-average crime and local deprivation indicators, so buyers should satisfy themselves on neighborhood suitability.
This apartment suits someone looking to downsize into a supported community with social facilities and peace of mind. It’s chain free and pet-friendly, with occasional organised activities and the potential to sub-let, but budget planning for ongoing service charges and possible lease extension costs is advisable.
