Set within a purpose-built over-55s block, this chain-free two-bedroom apartment offers compact, low-maintenance living close to Great Yarmouth town centre and the seafront. The second-floor flat benefits from an on-site manager, communal living spaces, and a maintained communal garden, supporting independent living with added peace of mind.
The apartment is modest in size (about 560 sq ft) with a practical layout: living room, fitted kitchen, shower room and two bedrooms. It has double glazing installed after 2002 and electric storage heaters; the 92-year unexpired lease gives medium-term security for owners. Service and communal facilities (laundry, residents’ lounge) make day-to-day life easier.
Be candid about running costs and local conditions: the service charge is about £3,012 per year, heating is electric storage, and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The wider area is classified as very deprived and local crime levels are very high — factors to weigh against the property’s convenience and community benefits.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking a supported retirement environment close to amenities and the coast, who accepts limited living space and higher service charges in exchange for security, community facilities and a low-council-tax location.
