This chain-free one-bedroom retirement flat sits on the first floor of a McCarthy Stone development close to the seafront and local shops. The layout is compact and practical, with a living room opening to a small balcony, an accessible wet-room style shower, and a built-in bedroom wardrobe. Communal facilities include a lounge, laundry room and a guest room; there is limited residents’ parking on a first-come, first-served basis.
The apartment is purpose-built for older occupants, with pull‑cord alarms and a walk-in cupboard housing the hot water cylinder. Heating is via electric night storage heaters and the building has double glazing; the EPC grade is B. Broadband and mobile signals are reported as strong, which helps for staying connected and accessing services.
Buyers should note the financial and local-area considerations: the flat is leasehold with around 103 years remaining, an annual service charge of £3,610.36 and a ground rent of £365 per year. The surrounding area is classified as deprived with above-average crime statistics, which may concern some purchasers despite the secure communal block.
Overall, this property offers low-maintenance retirement living close to seaside amenities and transport links. It suits a single occupant or couple looking to downsize into a purpose-built retirement scheme, though prospective buyers should factor ongoing service charges, limited parking, and local area indicators into their decision.
