A bright one-bedroom retirement apartment on the second floor with direct Thames estuary views and a balcony for sea-facing relaxation. The layout offers a lounge/diner, fitted kitchen and a recently installed shower/wet room, all within a compact 430 sq ft footprint suited to downsizers seeking low-maintenance living by the seafront.
Homecove House provides retirement-focused communal facilities including a 24-hour emergency call system, duty manager, guest room, communal lounges, laundry, games room, garden and off-street parking — useful for visitors and socialising without leaving the building. The property is available to view immediately and benefits from double glazing and an EPC rating of C.
Important: the lease has 58 years remaining. This is a material issue—many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend on properties with this lease length, which will affect buyers who need a mortgage. Service charge and ground rent are substantial (service charge £5,459.62pa; ground rent £443pa), so total running costs should be factored into affordability calculations.
Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a communal fuel system, which can increase running costs compared with gas or communal heating. The flat is well placed for seafront amenities and local shops, but the wider area records higher deprivation and crime levels, which some buyers may wish to consider.
