Summary - MARRYAT COURT FLAT 22 MONTAGU ROAD HIGHCLIFFE CHRISTCHURCH BH23 5JU
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Easy beach access, garage and low-maintenance living for first-home buyers.
South-facing patio accessed from living room via double doors
This bright, newly renovated two-bedroom ground-floor apartment sits in a mature, low-rise block with direct pedestrian access to the beach via a private residents’ gate. Double doors from the open-plan living/kitchen open onto a south-facing patio that captures sunlight for much of the day. The property includes a garage and additional casual parking, plus generous internal storage including four hall cupboards.
Practical running costs and ownership details are clear: the lease has approximately 169–170 years remaining, a peppercorn ground rent, and an annual maintenance charge of about £1,400. Heating is by electric room heaters and the building’s cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which may affect energy bills. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent.
The apartment is well suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance coastal property: neutral décor, integrated kitchen appliances, built-in wardrobes and a modern shower room reduce immediate work. Pets are allowed with freeholder consent, adding flexibility for owners. Council Tax band C keeps ongoing local charges affordable.
Notable considerations: the property relies on electric heating rather than mains gas and likely requires attention to insulation for long-term energy efficiency. The service charge funds communal upkeep but should be factored into monthly costs. Overall, this tidy, well-presented flat offers easy beach access, private outdoor space and secure parking—good value in a very affluent, low-crime area.
