Quiet, low-maintenance living in the centre of East Preston, tailored for independent retirees seeking convenience and community. This chain-free, ground-floor one-bedroom retirement bungalow has its own private entrance and direct access to well-kept communal gardens, with residents’ parking and alarm assistance/pull cords for reassurance.
The location is a major strength: under 100 yards from local shops and a bus stop, and about half a mile from the seafront — ideal for gentle walks, local cafés and everyday errands. The interior is compact and efficiently arranged with a combined lounge/dining area, one bedroom, shower room and small storage cupboard. Electric storage heaters and double glazing provide basic comfort.
Important lease and cost facts are straightforward: the property is leasehold with 62 years remaining. That limited term may restrict mortgage options and could deter some buyers; independent financial advice is recommended. Annual service charge is around £1,990 with a ground rent of £100 and an EPC rating of D. The bungalow was built in the 1980s and is small in overall size, so it suits a single occupant or couple looking to downsize rather than someone needing large living space.
This home suits someone seeking a peaceful, community-focused retirement base by the sea with support features in place. If you want easy access to local amenities and minimal garden upkeep, this property represents practical, low-effort coastal living — provided you are comfortable with the lease length and associated charges.
