A first-floor one-bedroom retirement flat within a well-maintained purpose-built block, set close to Bexhill seafront and promenade. The apartment offers a generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a cosy lounge overlooking communal grounds and access to excellent shared facilities in the adjacent Homelawn House, including lounge space, events and a warden on hand.
The property is offered chain-free but requires updating throughout: the interior needs renovation, the electric storage heating is dated, and broadband speeds in the area are slow. The lease has 88 years remaining. Annual running costs are significant — service charge approximately £3,468.02 and ground rent about £471.20 — which should be factored into affordability calculations.
Well-suited to an over-60s buyer seeking low-maintenance communal living, attractive gardens and easy seafront access. The communal gardens are manicured and private, and some apartments enjoy sea views from communal balconies. Buyers should budget for refurbishment work to modernise decor, replace heating if desired, and improve insulation where needed.
Notable negatives are factual: the property needs updating, has electric storage heaters, slow broadband, above-average local crime levels, and a limited lease length compared with new-builds. Viewing is recommended for anyone seeking a compact retirement home with social facilities and seaside proximity who is prepared to invest in modernisation.
