A ground-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in Leander Court, set within a modern development with practical communal facilities. The building includes a Development Manager, 24/7 emergency call system, residents' lounge, communal laundry, lift access and a guest suite — useful for visiting family. The flat sits on an average-sized footprint (about 565 sq ft) with double glazing and electric storage heating for straightforward, low-maintenance living.
This property will suit someone seeking convenience and community: the communal garden, on-site manager and resident facilities mean daily tasks and social contact are easier to arrange. A private garage and low-maintenance patio are helpful extras. The location offers seaside and local amenities nearby, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband for staying connected.
Buyers should note several material issues plainly. The local area is classified as very deprived with a high recorded crime level, and the property has a medium flood risk — both important for personal safety and insurance. Service charge and ground rent are significant: Service Charge £3,659.87 per year and Ground Rent £100 per year. Lease figures are reported inconsistently (sources state around 89–110 years remaining); the precise remaining term should be verified in the legal pack before purchase.
Overall this is a practical, community-focused retirement flat with useful communal services and low internal maintenance. It offers convenience and social amenities but comes with neighbourhood safety, flood risk and cost considerations that retiring buyers should weigh against the lifestyle benefits.
