This recently refurbished top-floor apartment occupies a sought-after spot just a short walk from Mudeford Quay, Stanpit Nature Reserve and Avon Beach. The open-plan living area leads to a balcony with lovely views across the quay, bringing coastal light into the flat. A garage and residents' parking add practical convenience and secure storage for bikes, kayaks or a car.
Arranged as a generous bedroom, separate shower-room and bright open-plan living/kitchen, the layout suits a single occupant or couple looking to downsize without compromising on quality. The finish is modern and move-in ready; the long lease (c.981 years) and share of freehold provide tenure security.
Practical considerations are straightforward: heating is by electric storage heaters and the small overall size (c.410 sq ft) suits those seeking low-maintenance living rather than family accommodation. A modest annual service charge of about £1,262 covers communal upkeep and gardens.
Buyers should note this is a top-floor, stair-access apartment with no lift and the building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s; the exterior has a mid-century style and there is a potential for damp in older buildings of this era so buyers may wish to satisfy themselves on this point. Council Tax Band B and the low local crime rate add to the appeal for downsizers or retirees seeking a calm, convenient coastal base.
