A compact second-floor apartment in Homedane House designed for over-60s living, offered chain free and priced to reflect its short lease. The property delivers direct sea views from a small front-facing balcony and sits a short walk from the seafront, town centre shops and local amenities — convenient for everyday errands and coastal walks.
Internally the one-bedroom layout is straightforward: a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a 10' x 15' lounge with sea outlook, separate kitchen and a generous bathroom. The building provides useful communal facilities including a lift and laundry room, supporting easier independent living without heavy maintenance responsibilities.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the lease has approximately 59 years remaining which may restrict mortgage availability and significantly affect future value. Service charge and ground rent costs are notable (approximately £3,040/yr and £430/yr respectively). The flat shows dated finishes and will need updating; heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be expensive.
The surrounding area scores poorly on crime and deprivation measurements, so this will suit buyers prioritising affordability, proximity to the coast and communal retirement facilities over a quiet or low-crime neighbourhood. Council tax is low and the property is chain free, making it a pragmatic option for downsizers who accept the lease and maintenance costs and who want coastal proximity with on-site support.
