This second-floor over-55s apartment sits in the heart of Herne Bay, a short walk from shops and the seafront. It has recently been redecorated, is offered with vacant possession and benefits from a lift, communal lounge and laundry room. The open-plan lounge and kitchen make efficient use of space for easy living.
Practical buyers should note important constraints: the lease has about 72 years remaining which may affect mortgage availability, and the location carries a high flood risk and very high local crime statistics. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the kitchen is dated, so some modernisation may be needed.
Service charges are relatively low at £266 and council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs. For an over-55s buyer seeking a compact, centrally positioned retirement base with communal facilities and low ongoing charges, this offers clear value—but confirm lease and insurance/mortgage options before committing.
