Set directly opposite the sea, this spacious ground-floor apartment in Westgate-on-Sea offers generous, light-filled rooms and a secure garage. With an open lounge/diner, two double bedrooms and a separate study, the layout suits full-time living or a coastal retreat. The building is modern and well maintained, and the apartment is chain free and ready to occupy.
This property is being marketed with the option of a Home for Life Lifetime Lease for buyers aged 60+. The full market price is £325,000; a typical Lifetime Lease guide price shown is £215,000 (approximate saving 33%). The Lifetime Lease lets eligible purchasers buy a share of the property value (up to 50%) to reduce the upfront cost — exact price depends on age and circumstances.
Practical considerations are clear: the home has double glazing installed before 2002, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and estimated total size is extremely large (approx. 1,680 sq ft). The location offers easy access to coastal walks and Westgate’s shops, cafés and golf course. Buyers should note local area indicators: broadband speeds are slow, recorded crime is above average and the wider area is classified as deprived.
Tenure is share of freehold and the apartment is suitable as a retirement home. Interested parties must verify all lease and legal details with their solicitor. The furniture shown in virtual-staged images is illustrative only.
