Top-floor one-bed in active over-60s block — gated parking and communal facilities close to town.
Top-floor corner flat with lift access and new double glazing
A spacious top-floor one-bedroom apartment in The Cherry Trees — a retirement-only block popular with over-60s. Positioned on a corner and served by a lift, the flat benefits from new double glazing, a large lounge with fireplace, fitted kitchen and allocated gated parking. Communal facilities include a lounge, laundry and organised activities, creating an active social environment for independent living.
The building is centrally placed for town-centre amenities: a GP surgery, pharmacy, leisure centre and public transport are within a short walk, and the seafront is around 800 metres away. The apartment’s accommodation is generous for its size (approximately 441 sq ft) and includes fitted wardrobes and practical bathroom aids such as an assistance handle.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is leasehold, located in an area with high crime rates and significant local deprivation, and broadband speeds are reported as slow. The interior shows dated fittings (1990s-style kitchen and mid‑20th‑century living room decor) and will suit someone happy to refresh or adapt the space rather than require a modern finish.
This flat will appeal to downsizers or retirees seeking social communal facilities, secure parking and a central, walkable location. It offers an affordable entry into a retirement community but requires realistic expectations about broadband, local area challenges and some cosmetic updating.
