Ferndale Court offers a comfortable, purpose-built over-60s apartment in central Birchington, a short walk from shops, cafés, transport links and the seafront. The first-floor flat feels bright and practical: a spacious lounge, separate dining room that doubles as a flexible second reception or guest room, a modern fitted kitchen, and a double bedroom with built-in storage. The bathroom has a walk-in shower for ease of use.
This apartment suits someone seeking independent retirement living with communal grounds and on-site neighbourly reassurance. The building is a low-rise 1980s brick block with communal gardens and parking, and the property benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing. Mobile signal is excellent and local crime levels are low, supporting everyday peace of mind.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with 96 years remaining, a ground rent of £20 and an annual service charge of about £3,434.44, which reflects communal maintenance and services. Broadband speeds are average and the wider area is classified as deprived, which may affect local services and future resale dynamics.
Overall, this is a practical, well-presented retirement flat for an active over-60s buyer who values proximity to coastal amenities and a supportive community environment, while being comfortable with service charges and a long leasehold arrangement.
