Summary - BAYVIEW COURT, 98 FLAT 39 SANDOWN ROAD SANDOWN PO36 9JX
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Top-floor, low-maintenance coastal apartment for over-60s seeking secure living.
Third-floor apartment with lift and loft access
A bright third-floor retirement apartment with clear sea views from both the lounge and bedrooms, located in Bayview Court with lift access and communal gardens leading to the cliff path and beach. The building includes a daytime house manager, residents’ lounge and off-street parking, making it a low-hassle choice for over-60s seeking easy coastal living.
The flat is compact at about 462 sq ft with two bedrooms and one shower room — roomy bedroom one and a practical open lounge/dining space. It has electric storage heaters and older double glazing; heating costs can be higher than gas-heated homes. The apartment has loft access and the building was constructed in the 1980s, so measure and check services and fixtures during viewing.
This property is offered with a Lifetime Lease option through Homewise for buyers aged 60+, with a guide price of £109,000 (typical saving versus full market value). The full market price is £165,000 and the apartment is leasehold with 125 years remaining; service charges average £2,720 per year. The Lifetime Lease allows purchase of up to a 50% share to preserve some capital for the future — eligible buyers should obtain a personalised quote.
Practical considerations: communal living suits those who want social facilities and daily on-site support but expect service charges and shared upkeep. The location gives excellent mobile signal, average broadband, low crime and easy bus access, but the surrounding area is classified as deprived, so check local services and travel links if wider amenities are important.
