This first-floor, two-bedroom retirement flat in Holmebury House offers practical, low-maintenance living for a buyer aged over 60. The apartment is offered chain free and includes a 14ft lounge, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a shower room — arranged for straightforward day-to-day use. Communal benefits include a residents' lounge, laundry room and warden assistance, plus private off-street parking.
The building is a purpose-built block from the 1980s with double glazing and electric storage heating. The flat is compact at about 496 sq ft and best suited to a single occupant or couple seeking a town-centre location with easy access to shops, the seafront, railway station and nearby Cornwallis Gardens.
Important practical points are the lease length (approximately 86 years remaining), an annual service charge around £2,026.56 and a small ground rent of £90. The heating is electric storage, and the property does not permit subletting or short-term lets; pets are not allowed.
Be candid about location factors: the wider area is classified as very deprived with a very high local crime score, which may concern some buyers and affect future resale. For those prioritising convenience, communal support and a chain-free purchase close to central amenities, this flat represents a genuinely affordable retirement option with scope for cosmetic updating.
