A first-floor, one-bedroom retirement flat directly opposite Seaford beach, offering bright living space and direct sea views from the living/dining room and enclosed balcony. The flat is vacant and chain-free, with a long lease (964 years) and share of freehold — features that simplify purchase and future security for buyers aged 60 and over.
Purpose-built for older residents, Stratheden Court provides practical communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry room, on-site house manager, lifts to all floors and a 24-hour care-line system. The apartment is well presented internally with built-in bedroom wardrobes, a tidy kitchen and bathroom, uPVC double glazing and electric storage heaters.
Buyers should note the modest internal size (approximately 349 sq ft) and the annual maintenance charge of about £1,430. Heating is electric storage heaters (no communal gas), which can affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes. There is an age restriction — residents must be over 60 — and the neighbourhood records higher crime levels, which some buyers may want to investigate further.
For someone looking to downsize to a seaside location with ready-made communal support, easy access to Seaford town centre, regular transport links and direct beach access, this flat offers a compact, low-maintenance base with long-term tenure security. Consider viewing to assess space, storage and running-cost expectations in person.
