This ground-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits directly on the cliff top in Highcliffe, offering sea views across Christchurch Bay and easy access to the beach and Highcliffe High Street. The south-facing sitting room opens to the communal grounds and cliff-top path, bringing light and coastal outlooks into the main reception space. A good-sized, well-fitted kitchen/diner and two double bedrooms make the layout practical for permanent living or a coastal retreat.
The flat has been in the same family since new and is structurally conventional mid-century build with UPVC double glazing and gas central heating. It is sold as in need of some renovation and offers clear scope for modernisation to improve comfort and value—particularly updating heating and insulation. The property benefits from a long 999-year lease (977 years remaining from 2003) and shared freehold, so there is no ground rent.
Practicalities include a garage in a nearby block, plentiful casual parking, communal grounds, and a service charge of approximately £1,600 per year. Note the building’s cavity walls likely lack added insulation and the glazing is pre-2002, so budgeting for energy-efficiency upgrades is sensible. This apartment will suit buyers seeking a coastal location with redevelopment potential or downsizers wanting a low-maintenance, ground-floor home close to amenities.
