The open-plan living room and fitted kitchen with integrated appliances create a light, convenient living space suited to relaxed coastal living. Owners benefit from an on-site Lodge Manager five days a week, a 24-hour Careline safety system, and access to guest suites across Churchill Living developments.
The apartment is designed for low‑maintenance retirement life: two double bedrooms (one with built-in wardrobe), shower room plus a separate WC, and a hallway storage cupboard. Practical extras include off-street owners’ parking, lift access, communal gardens and regular social events in the owners’ lounge. Mobile signal is excellent and local transport links, town centre shops and the harbour are all within easy walking distance.
Important facts to note: this is a leasehold retirement property with approximately 117 years remaining and an above-average annual service charge of £5,046.89. Ground rent (£886.90 pa) is comparatively high and reviewable in 2031. The scheme uses a community heating arrangement and service charges cover communal utilities, building maintenance and the lodge services.
The building sits in a busy urban area with higher local crime and very deprived area indicators, which some buyers will want to consider alongside the benefits of onsite security systems, communal care provision and the social community. Broadband speeds are average. Overall, this apartment will suit downsizers wanting a low‑maintenance, social retirement base with sea views and good local amenities, provided they are comfortable with the leasehold costs and the wider neighbourhood profile.
