A bright, well-presented one-bedroom retirement flat in central Kemptown, offered at 25% shared ownership. The apartment sits in a modern block close to local shops, cafés and the seafront, providing easy, low-maintenance living with communal facilities and lift access.
The interior is tidy and ready to move into: a comfortable living room with a large window, a modern fitted kitchen and a double bedroom with built-in storage. Residents benefit from maintained communal gardens, a residents’ lounge and on-site private parking. Heating is provided via a mains gas community scheme and the windows are double glazed.
Important practical points: this is a leasehold retirement property with 88 years remaining and sold on a shared ownership basis (25% share). Service charges, potential additional leasehold fees and rules for shared-ownership/resale apply and should be checked. The wider area is described as very deprived with higher local crime rates, so purchasers should consider neighbourhood safety and amenities.
This home will suit downsizers or retirees seeking an affordable town-centre base near the seafront and local transport links. Prospective buyers should commission their own checks on services, communal charges and the lease before committing.
