Low-maintenance coastal apartment steps from shops and cliff-top walks.
Ground-floor one-bedroom with private patio overlooking communal gardens
This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment at Dean Lodge is a practical, low-maintenance option for someone looking to downsize close to the sea. The living room opens via French doors onto a private patio overlooking well-kept communal gardens, and the bedroom includes a built-in mirrored wardrobe. The open-plan layout and walk-in storage cupboard make the most of the apartment’s average-sized 512 sq ft.
Dean Lodge is designed for retirement living: a lodge manager is on site five days a week, there is a 24-hour Careline emergency system, intruder alarms, video entry and a wellbeing suite. Owners benefit from a communal Owners’ Lounge, laundry, lift access to all floors and a Guest Suite available for visitors — plus access to Guest Suites at other Churchill Living developments.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with 112 years remaining, an annual service charge of approximately £3,003.86 and a ground rent of £647.98 (review due). Heating is electric (room heaters), not central, and floor area is modest at about 512 sq ft. The apartment sits close to Southbourne’s shops and cliff-top paths to the beach for easy local amenities and coastal walks.
This apartment suits a purchaser wanting secure, community-focused retirement living near Bournemouth’s coastline. It offers convenience and peace of mind, but buyers should budget for ongoing service charges, ground rent and potential future heating upgrades if preferred.
