Set just yards from Southbourne Overcliff and the golden sands, this very well presented one-bedroom detached retirement bungalow offers low-maintenance coastal living for the over-60s. Situated within a managed development with a resident house manager, 24-hour Careline, residents’ lounge with sea views, guest suite and laundry, the home is ready to move into with no forward chain.
The interior is compact and efficient: a front-facing bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a rear lounge with patio doors onto a small patio, and a modern kitchen fitted with integrated appliances. The shower room is fully tiled with a seated shower and the property benefits from double glazing, Karndean flooring and Dimplex Quantum electric storage heaters.
Practicalities to note: the property is leasehold (99 years from 29 Sep 1986) with a ground rent that rises in stepped increases and an approximate maintenance charge of £220 pcm. Parking is available on a first-come basis and heating is by electric storage heaters, which may affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
This bungalow will suit a buyer seeking an independent, low-upkeep retirement base close to beach amenities and local shops. It’s particularly attractive to those prioritising on-site support and communal facilities over a larger private garden or off-street parking guarantees.
