Summary - Marlborough Court, Southfields Road, Eastbourne, BN21 BN21 1BT
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Spacious two-bedroom retirement flat with active community and on-site 24-hour support.
Third-floor apartment with lift access close by
A third-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Marlborough Court — a purpose-built independent-living development for the over-55s. The flat offers practical living with a master bedroom that includes a large walk-in wardrobe, a walk-in shower room, and lift access just outside the door, making daily life easier. The apartment is around 800 sq ft and benefits from off-street residents’ parking and excellent mobile and broadband connections.
Marlborough Court is an active community with a manager on site, 24-hour duty staff, weekly communal cleaning of apartments, an owner-run social programme and an owners’ dining room serving lunch daily. There is a well-kept communal garden, owners’ lounge, and a guest suite for visiting family. These services make the development especially suitable for buyers seeking social contact and help with routine tasks.
The flat is sound but dated: carpets and some fixtures show wear and would benefit from modernisation to match contemporary tastes. The double glazing predates 2002 and the heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. Prospective buyers should note this is leasehold: the service charge covers many services (cleaning, grounds, building maintenance, insurance), and a resale transfer premium of up to 3% may be payable to Retirement Security depending on length of ownership.
Overall this apartment is a convenient, low-maintenance option for someone looking to downsize into a sociable, well-serviced retirement community, with potential to personalise the interior to add value and modern comfort.
