Two double bedrooms close to shops, station and sea-side amenities.
Ground-floor retirement flat with direct communal garden access
Quiet, ground-floor living in Homerowan House offers comfortable retirement living with easy access to Thorpe Bay Broadway and the mainline station. The two double bedrooms and a large south-facing living room opening onto pretty communal gardens suit someone wanting low-maintenance, single-level accommodation close to shops and transport.
This leasehold apartment (circa 689 sq ft) sits in a purpose-built retirement block from the 1980s. Practical features include double glazing fitted after 2002, electric storage heating and fast broadband; these make the flat ready for immediate occupation but mean running costs will reflect electric heating rather than gas.
Buyers should note material points: the property is leasehold so there will be service/management arrangements and likely communal maintenance costs. Heating by electric storage radiators can be more expensive than gas alternatives, and there is a single bathroom. The building is of system-built construction, so check any maintenance records or warranties if concerned about fabric or insulation.
Overall this is a rare ground-floor retirement flat in a sought-after, affluent pocket of Thorpe Bay. It will suit downsizers seeking convenience, garden access without upkeep, and strong local amenities, provided they accept leasehold ownership and electric heating.
