Set within the Grade II listed Lincombe Manor grounds, this two‑bedroom, garden‑level apartment offers independent retirement living with extensive on‑site services. The open‑plan principal room opens onto a private south‑facing deck, and residents benefit from a communal roof terrace with sea views towards Thatcher Rock. The property includes one en‑suite bedroom, allocated off‑street parking and gas underfloor heating. EPC B confirms good energy performance.
The development’s facilities are a major draw: 24‑hour concierge, residents’ lounge, restaurant, bar, library, gym and activity rooms provide social options without leaving the estate. The apartment’s layout and large principal room suit downsizers who want low‑maintenance, comfortable accommodation but with access to a lively community and managed grounds.
Important practical points are clear: the home is leasehold with approximately 111–125 years shown in the paperwork, an annual service charge of £7,946.64 and ground rent of £469.90. The property’s listed setting means alterations may be restricted and require consent. Broadband speeds are reported slow in the area; council tax and service charge costs are above average and should be factored in.
