This chain-free, two-bedroom leasehold apartment sits on the seafront in St Leonards-on-Sea and is marketed as an over-55 retirement property. The flat offers communal facilities, off-street parking and emergency cords in principal rooms, providing practical support for older residents. At around 596 sq ft it is compact and best suited to downsizers seeking a coastal base rather than a family home.
The accommodation follows a traditional layout: a mid-sized lounge, separate kitchen with basic white units, two bedrooms (one with a built-in wardrobe) and a shower room with mains shower and heated towel rail. The building is mid-20th century in style; interior rooms show signs of neglect and would benefit from modernization to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
Location is a clear strength — just moments from the promenade and beach, close to cafes, leisure facilities and public transport. Mobile signal is excellent and there is off-street parking, but broadband speeds are average. Buyers should note this property sits in a very deprived area with higher local crime statistics, which may affect long-term resale or rental prospects.
Practical points: the apartment is leasehold and aimed at buyers over 55. It is offered chain-free, making a quicker purchase possible, but buyers should allow for refurbishment costs and check service charges, ground rent and lease length during conveyancing. Overall the property offers affordable coastal living with scope for updating, best suited to retirees seeking proximity to the sea and local amenities.
