Summary - KINGSWELL, 65 14 IMPERIAL AVENUE WESTCLIFF-ON-SEA SS0 8NZ
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Ideal low-maintenance coastal home minutes from Chalkwell Station and the seafront.
Ground-floor apartment with direct communal garden access
A ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in a well-kept over-55s complex, Kingswell sits with direct access to landscaped communal gardens and residents’ parking. The layout is compact and efficient: a double bedroom with fitted wardrobe, lounge/diner with patio doors to the garden, separate fitted kitchen and bathroom. The communal facilities include a lounge, laundry room and lift to all floors.
Practical running costs are clear: the lease has approximately 86 years remaining and the annual service charge is around £2,460 (includes buildings insurance and water). Heating is by electric storage heaters and the property is double-glazed; buyers should note there is no gas central heating and electric running costs tend to be higher.
This apartment suits a downsizer or single occupant seeking low-maintenance coastal living close to shops, Chalkwell station and the seafront. It’s compact (about 388 sq ft) so best for those prepared for smaller rooms rather than a larger family home. Crime in the area is above average, so consider that alongside the excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
A straightforward purchase for someone prioritising location, convenience and communal support, but factor in the lease length, service charge and electric heating when assessing long-term running costs and resale potential.
