A bright one-bedroom, third/top-floor retirement apartment overlooking Alexandra Park, ideal for a purchaser seeking low-maintenance living close to Hastings town centre. The lounge-diner opens onto a balcony with leafy, far-reaching park views; the bedroom has built-in storage and the shower room includes grab rails and a seat for ease of use. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, laundry room and a guest suite (charges apply), and there is lift access to the top floor.
Practical details are straightforward: the flat is leasehold with an exceptionally long lease (circa 959 years), council tax band B and an established over-60s management structure. Main heating is electric storage radiators, and the property is double glazed; these are convenient but can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
Service charges and ground rent cover communal maintenance and services; current annualised figures total roughly £2,069 for service charge and £340 ground rent. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and displays a Tudor-Revival exterior with well-kept communal gardens — attractive, but expect some communal rules and shared-cost upkeep typical of managed retirement developments.
This apartment suits someone downsizing who values location, a social communal setting and park-facing outdoor space. It requires minimal immediate works but consider the electric heating and ongoing service costs when working out your overall budget.
