Large period flat in converted school, ideal for downsizers seeking space and community.
Spacious 969 sq ft two-bedroom first-floor apartment
Set within a converted 1912 former school, this spacious two-bedroom first-floor apartment combines period character with contemporary living. At 969 sq ft the layout feels generous: high ceilings, large Victorian-style windows and a wide open-plan living/kitchen area make the home airy and light. Practical features include double glazing, gas central heating, lift access, security entry and an allocated off-street parking space.
The development is classified as a communal retirement scheme, which suits buyers seeking a quieter, community-focused setting; verify any age or residency eligibility before viewing. Residents also benefit from landscaped communal gardens, visitor parking and strong digital connectivity: excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds.
Important considerations: the building is listed and this will cause difficulties for alteration works, external changes and some finance options. The local indicators are mixed — described as an affluent community yet flagged as deprived in area data — so confirm local services and any council or funding arrangements relevant to retirement schemes.
This property will appeal to downsizers or buyers seeking spacious, characterful accommodation close to local amenities and the beach, with low council tax and practical daily convenience. Obtain a full building survey and check scheme rules and mortgage acceptability for listed properties before committing.
