This one-bedroom retirement apartment in Alexandra Court sits on the first floor of a modern McCarthy & Stone development close to bus routes, local shops, the Downs and the seafront. The block offers practical communal facilities for over-60s living: a residents’ lounge, guest suite, communal gardens, laundry, lift to all floors, video entry and a 24/7 Appello emergency call system backed by an on-site Development Manager.
The flat provides an average-sized living room and bedroom within about 506 sq ft of accommodation. Interiors have a mid-century / dated feel and will benefit from cosmetic updating—an opportunity for a sensible refurbishment to improve comfort and resale appeal. Heating is via electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating.
Owners should note the financial commitments: a service charge currently £3,509.66 pa and a ground rent of £728.52 pa. The lease has substantial remaining term (about 99 years). Event fees may apply for certain services; prospective buyers should confirm exact liabilities before committing.
This apartment is best suited to a downsizer or retiree seeking secure, low-crime surroundings, easy access to local amenities and on-site support. It offers straightforward, manageable accommodation with communal support and clear potential for uplift after modest refurbishment.
