Set on the first floor of a converted Victorian villa, this well-presented two-bedroom apartment is designed for buyers aged 55 and over. High ceilings and period features combine with a modern kitchen and upgraded shower room to create comfortable, low-maintenance living close to Babbacombe Downs and local amenities.
The apartment includes an allocated off-street parking space, communal gardens and a lockable storage area. The long lease (until 2985) gives security of tenure; communal central heating and water are included within the annual service charge, simplifying running arrangements for residents.
Important practical points: the property is small (around 550 sq ft) and the EPC rating is E (44). The annual service charge (£3,442.65) is significant and covers communal heating, water, insurance, gardening and maintenance. The building is a pre-1900 sandstone construction with assumptions of no wall insulation.
This home will suit downsizers or retirees wanting a well-located, characterful base near the seafront and green spaces, who also accept communal living costs and a modest internal footprint.
