This compact first-floor apartment sits within Palm Court, a purpose-built McCarthy & Stone retirement development completed in 1997. The building provides practical on-site support including a Development Manager, 24-hour Appello emergency call system and lift access to all floors—helpful features for independent later living.
Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge with sea views, communal laundry and a guest suite for visitors. The flat offers an entrance hall, lounge, fitted kitchen, one bedroom and bathroom in an average-sized layout (approx. 528 sq ft). Video door entry and good mobile signal add everyday convenience.
Important considerations: the home is leasehold with around 97 years remaining, and specific service charge and ground rent figures are not provided. Heating is by electric storage heaters and broadband speeds are reported slow. The local area has above-average crime and higher deprivation indicators—factors to weigh against the building’s supportive retirement amenities.
This property suits an over-60 buyer seeking low-stairs living in a managed retirement complex near the coast. It offers straightforward, manageable accommodation with potential for modest updating, but check service charges, communal fees and heating costs before committing.
