This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment in Mountbatten House sits in a Georgian-style converted mill just a short walk from Deal beach and town centre — ideal for someone seeking a low-stairs retirement base by the sea. The layout includes a spacious lounge/diner, a modern kitchen, two double bedrooms and two shower rooms, one ensuite to the principal bedroom. A private walled courtyard to the rear and communal gardens add outdoor space without heavy upkeep.
The property is offered Leasehold with 101 years remaining; annual service charge is approximately £2,557 and ground rent is £50 per year. It’s marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £198,500 for over-60s (market value £300,000) — actual cost will vary by age and chosen share. Prospective buyers must verify all lease, service and appliance details with their solicitor.
Practical positives include residents’ off-street parking, gas central heating via boiler and radiators, excellent mobile signal and an accessible ground-floor position. Note the building is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and likely lacks cavity insulation; some energy performance or upgrading work may be advisable. Broadband speeds are average and the wider area is generally affluent with local amenities close by.
This home suits downsizers or retirees wanting seaside proximity, manageable outdoor space and characterful period features, while accepting typical leasehold costs and potential retrofit/insulation needs. All measurements and fixtures should be independently checked before purchase.
