This one-bedroom retirement apartment at Viewpoint offers comfortable, low-maintenance living designed for the over-60s. The apartment is presented in like-new condition with a generous living/dining area, modern fitted kitchen, walk-in wardrobe and a large balcony that looks over the marina — ideal for relaxed mornings and easy entertaining.
Residents benefit from an on-site House Manager during office hours, a homeowners’ lounge, a guest suite for visitors, camera entry and a 24-hour emergency call system. The long lease (around 990 years) and comprehensive service charge provide cover for external maintenance, communal utilities, gardening and buildings insurance, reducing upkeep responsibilities.
Notable practical points: heating is by electric room heaters, which can increase running costs compared with central heating, and parking is by permit subject to availability and a separate fee. The service charge is significant at £3,330.25 per year and ground rent is £425 per year (next review 2031) — buyers should factor these into ongoing costs. The development sits in an area with higher crime and notable deprivation, which may influence personal security perceptions and resale considerations.
Overall this apartment suits a downsizer seeking a secure, sociable retirement-focused community with waterfront views and minimal exterior maintenance. It presents a straightforward move-in option but best fits those comfortable with electric heating and the ongoing service/ground rent commitments.
