Set within an elegant Grade II listed Georgian house on Fore Street, this well-presented first-floor apartment offers comfortable over-50s living with extensive estuary and countryside views. The open-plan lounge/dining room and two private balconies take advantage of the outlook, while a modern fitted kitchen and shower room provide up-to-date convenience. Allocated off-street parking and neat communal gardens add practical appeal.
The apartment is a modest 494 sq ft and is arranged for easy single-floor living: a double bedroom with built-in storage, an L-shaped hallway with loft access, and mains conveniences including integrated kitchen appliances. The property benefits from double glazing and independent electric radiators, making it straightforward to run and personalise.
Important practical points: the building’s Grade II listing protects its character but can restrict alterations and may complicate future works. Heating is electric storage/radiator based and the EPC is E. The lease has 156 years remaining and an average service charge of about £2,016 per year. The house exterior and stepped approach show typical period maintenance needs.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a peaceful retirement base or countryside-rooted downsizing option with character, river views and community gardens. It offers immediate occupation potential with scope to tailor internal finishes within the constraints of listed-status ownership.
