Low-maintenance retirement apartment with communal amenities and sea glimpses.
First-floor two-bedroom retirement flat with balcony and sea glimpses
This first-floor, two-bedroom retirement flat in Darwin Court offers comfortable, low-effort living within a modern assisted-living development. The apartment includes a balcony with partial sea glimpses, off-street communal parking and access to extensive communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, restaurant with waitress service, function room and landscaped gardens. An Estates Manager and assistants provide 24‑hour cover, and one hour of domestic help per week is included in the service charge.
The building was completed in 2006 and provides lift access, wheelchair-friendly routes and a guest suite. The flat is heated by individual electric room heaters and has double glazing; overall space is average at around 833 sq ft and the layout is traditional and straightforward to furnish. The lease is long—about 105 years remaining—offering security for longer-term occupation.
Important cost and location notes: the service charge is high at £10,806.05 per year and ground rent is £475 annually. The area is classified as very deprived with a high local crime score, which may concern buyers seeking a quieter setting. Event fees and extra domestic services are payable separately and should be checked before purchase.
This property suits someone seeking the reassurance of assisted living and social amenities close to Cliftonville seafront, with mobility-friendly access and minimal gardening or maintenance responsibility. Buyers who prioritise low‑maintenance living and communal support will find this a practical option; those sensitive to high ongoing charges or local area issues should consider these factors carefully.
