This first-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in Homebredy House offers low-maintenance living in central Bridport, close to shops, cafes and the Jurassic Coast. The flat sits within a McCarthy & Stone development with lift access, a resident development manager, 24-hour emergency Appello system and communal facilities including a residents’ lounge, laundry and guest suite — helpful for those seeking support and social contact.
Internally the layout is compact with a double-aspect lounge featuring sloped/dormer ceilings and town/roofline views, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom with shower. Neutral decor and fitted carpets present a tidy, move-in-ready finish, though room sizes are modest and the kitchen and bathroom show signs of age and would benefit from modernization to suit contemporary tastes.
Practical costs and constraints are important: the property is leasehold (125 years from 1987) with about 86 years remaining, an annual service charge of approximately £3,684 and ground rent of £494.82. Heating is by electric storage heaters, and there is no private garden — communal outdoor space and town amenities are relied upon instead.
This apartment will suit a single retiree or a downsizing couple looking for convenience, on-site support and social facilities in a market-town setting. Buyers should be comfortable with the service charge level, electric heating, and limited internal space, and consider the lease length when assessing long-term value.
