First-floor retirement flat with communal services near shops and sea.
Spacious one-bedroom first-floor flat with wide entrance hall
Set on the first floor of a well-kept red-brick development, this one-bedroom retirement apartment offers an airy layout and practical living for someone looking to downsize. A wide entrance hall leads to a generous lounge/dining room and a fitted kitchen; the double bedroom benefits from full-height built-in wardrobes. Communal amenities — landscaped gardens, residents’ lounge, laundry, guest suite, lift, on-site warden and 24-hour care line — support independent living with extra reassurance.
The flat is chain-free and ready for immediate occupation, with uPVC double glazing and electric storage heating. The lease is long (about 98 years remaining from details provided) and the property is free from flood risk. Off-street parking and a low-crime, well-connected location put shops, the station, parks and the seafront within easy walking distance.
Considerations: the property runs on electric heating and storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas alternatives. Annual costs include a substantial service charge and ground rent (service charge c. £3,658.72 per year; ground rent £400 p.a.), and the surrounding area scores as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale values. The interior shows late-20th-century fittings and will suit buyers prepared to modernise decorative and kitchen details.
Overall, this apartment will appeal to buyers seeking a secure, low-maintenance retirement setting with communal support and proximity to local amenities, or to investors targeting the sheltered housing market, provided they factor in running costs and potential updating.
