Set on the ground floor of a mid-20th century block, this two-bedroom apartment sits conveniently between Highcliffe cliff top and the village centre — ideal for someone seeking easy access to coast, local amenities and a quieter neighbourhood. The flat is chain free and offered with a long lease (188 years remaining), a private garage and communal gardens, making it a practical move for downsizers or purchasers seeking low-hassle ownership.
The layout is straightforward: a sitting room, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms with built-in storage and a fully tiled shower room. Gas central heating and an airing cupboard with the hot water cylinder are in place. The garage nearby and well-tended lawns add useful outdoor space without private garden maintenance.
Material considerations are factual and simple: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of about £1,200 and a peppercorn ground rent. Broadband speeds are average and the building’s mid-century construction means some buyers may prefer to modernise finishes and kitchen fittings. The nearby primary school has an Ofsted rating of “requires improvement,” though local secondary and alternative provisions inspect as good or independent.
This apartment suits someone looking to downsize to a low-maintenance, well-located home with long lease security and off-street parking. An internal inspection is recommended to assess condition and any updating required to reflect personal taste.
